ICE sells a brute 3KW and 6KW rated LP for 6M Peter, and reasonably
priced.
I would argue against a Pi-L on 6M for home brew and let the LP clean up
the harmonics. That would still fulfill the FCC rules.
On 6M a LP also cleans up a lot of TV and other band crud on RX. I use a
quality LP at the output of the xvtr to preclude a GIGO situation with
the amp. Ideally, one could use the ICE BP filter (200W rated) at the
rig but that would restrict tuning down for EU ( the 48.240-260 ones) or
VK/ZL video carriers.
