Yes the tuners are great, and my 160 mtr full wave loop makes a good 6mtr
antenna, especially on receive.
But something about 6 mtrs on a beam, magic.
Hf beams, yeah they do mostly what you expect. But something about the
short wave length, maybe.
Maybe 2 mtrs is that way too, I don't know.
But every 6 meter beam I have kicks butt.
My KX3 and a portable MFJ 6 meter 3ele beam works like a big gun station.

Yes, even my 160M center fed dipole {256 ft} with its balanced feed
line and a 4:1 Guanella dual core current balun works quite nice on 6M.

If you have a K3, K3S, or KX3, with the built-in auto tuner, then any
antenna is a 6 m antenna :-)

That's telling me that six meters could be a valuable band during Field
Day. Consider having at least a dipole antenna that can to put into
service. If the E-clouds are active, participants could pick up quite a
few points in a band that has lots of room. The "skip" moves around a
lot, but FD QSOs are short, so it could be a very productive band. And
you don't need power.. QRP is often as good as QRO.

Just had a quick QSO with K7CW in CN87, and I’m hearing a strong beacon
from Kansas. DXmaps.com has red all over :)At times like this it pays to
jump on 6 meters.
