Joe,

I was one of those states, TX.  I sure was glad to get 6 AK grids in
the log late last year. Thank you.

I have an M^2 6M7 about 8 feet above
a Mosley Pro67c with no trouble. The Mosley
is at 63 feet on a Universal Aluminum tower.

As you can see I'm doing all the controversial things.

73,
Ken AB5A

Second opinion -  my Cushcraft A50-5S let me work all states on 6 meters in
a 30 day period in November 2001.  Also bagged some nice DX - Australia,
Pitcairn Island, Costa Rica, Marshall islands....and it worked fine running
just 100 watts.  Mine is mounted atop a 40 foot tower, about 8 feet above
my Mosley Pro57B.  No interaction problems noted on either antenna.  Good
luck with your installation!
