I would be happy to run a JT65A mode sked with you this weekend on 6m.  Should be 
possible on D layer scatter any time of day, although early morning should be 
avoided to avoid disruptive meteor bursts.

In fact, as long as you keep the HF yagi off your tower, you won't shield the 6m 
yagi from very valuable ground gain reflections.  So, at least for now, you 
probably will have enough gain with it to work the larger stations on your moonset 
or moonrise using JT65A mode.  GL and VY 73, Lance
