Who says you "have" to be near a Channel 2 to put up a Channel 2 antenna?

I doubt that a homeowner's association will be running bandwidth measurements 
on every tv antenna that will be going up.

A CREATE log periodic for 50-250MHz would be a great DTV antenna and who 
knows..... if you hooked it to a FT 736 or similar...... you might be on the 
air on six and two.

Just the fact that the FCC preempts antenna restrictions will be great for six 
meters, and hams in general that are limited to indoor antennas. 

I've got a 140 foot rohn 45 in my backyard, but I hope this will be a 
opportunity for other Hams to try six meters.
