I’ve enjoyed 6-meters since I was introduced to it in high school in the mid-60s. All I used for many years was a Squalo antenna mounted on my Dad’s chimney on our house in Maryland. With that and a 1-watt crystal controlled AM transceiver (Lafayette HA-650), I had a ball working across the country and even down to Mexico and Cuba when the band opened. Now-a-days I use a 6M dipole for monitoring the band. I also have a 4-element beam when I want to get a bit more serious. But from my location here in the Dallas area, I can work both coasts with the dipole when the band opens. The trick is to know when the band opens.
