Anytime someone has dedicated six meter gear the asking price is about what you could buy an HF rig for that covers 10m-160m, sometimes a lot more! Guess that's what we get for being dedicated six meter enthusiasts.

Don't know when or if this will go out. My ISP is making some major mods 
on the mail system and it's supposed to be up on the 3rd.  Today is the 
1st and I can receive mail on all but 4 or 5 accounts. Can't send on any 
of them.  That and the new Internet mail interface stinks.

I'm waiting for the new Icom 9100...one of the DC to daylight rigs 
http://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/hf/9100/default.aspx 
that is supposed to work well on all bands.  If we have to pay the money 
we might as well have the versatility. Unfortunately I fear the 9100 may 
be a bit pricey.  Actually you can purchase a legal limit 6-meter amp 
for about 800 to 1000 less than the same thing for 160 through 10. Go 
solid state and they include six.
