Hi Tony, Yes, I know....that is probably why most of the HF DXpeditions over the last number of years have not had any success on 6m :-( I made 26,000,000 miles's worth of contacts on 6m on my last DXpedition to the South Pacific last fall. Of course, I used my K3 and 6m was not an "afterthought" and I certainly encouraged people to watch for my CQ's. By comparison, my approach was certainly not "Please don't pester us with questions for tries on 6m." ;-) Thank goodness there are SOME HFers interested in working 6m ;-) I worked the first 6m station from PJ2 a couple weeks ago when PJ2/W8WTS got on JT65A mode during his moonset with a 5 element yagi and 300w. Looking forward to some more new DXCC on 6m this spring ;-) Up to 164 now and have been adding a new DXCC every month for the last several years. Thanks to all those who have shown an interest in demonstrating what CAN be done on that band!
