I do not find the need to use the PR6 on the sub when using the AUX ANT

In general, when running the sub RX via its dedicated AUX ANT connector,
it has better 6M sensitivity than the main RX antenna path. The AUX ANT

Don is right. It's quite possible that your shield *exterior* is acting as
another radial and, if the run to your shack is near 1/4 wave or 3/4 wave,
you have a high impedance at your rig. The solution is to decouple the
shield with a toroid or other device near the 1/4 wave point.
