Lee, DX Sherlock is great for keeping tabs on 6M openings: http://www.vhfdx.net/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&ML=M&Map=NA
great maps created from current posts ... worldwide info, etc. Others may differ, but IMHO I think you're likely to need the PR6 if you become serious about 6M, and you may also want a P3.. I have two K3s, but always choose my 756ProIII when I get on 6M. Right out of the box, with the same antenna, etc., it hears better than either of my K3s (which do not have PR6s)..... but I use the ProIII for other reasons, too (there's a KW amp behind it, and it has the built-in bandscope which is always helpful during 6M openings).

I know it is not high. Could someone tell me a good web site to access to learn more about 6 meters? Watch for openings? Etc. Also, is the pre-amp a good investment if I am going to do more 6 meters> Lee - K0WA Ham Radio Operators: Kansas QSO Party is August 28-29, 2010. See www.ksqsoparty.org for details In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - J.
