As a side note, don't worry if you don't have the right antenna. I'm using a K3 at 100W into a 160M dipole at about 35 feet. Not ideal, but fun.
Yep. And you beat me to at least one QSO today. :) Before I had aluminum in the air, I worked 6M with a pair of 80/40 fan dipoles. They were up 100 ft and fed with very good RG11. Running 100W, I managed to make several double-hop QSOs both to the east coast and to KH6.
When I lived in Chicago, my 6M antenna was a pair of stacked horizontal loops up about 40 ft. I remember working a guy on Long Island with his antenna in the basement!
