If it works on 17mtrs, then it SHOULD work on 6 (3/4wave there!)....but no guarantee! But for 6, you want a HIGH antenna, not a ground mounted vertical....but rather a high MOXON or yagi...horizontally polarized! :)

Ed,
My 18HT is the older version, but it tunes (with antenna tuner) and works
great on 30 meters.  If not mistaken, I think the current version offers a
stub for 17 meters...if so, then that would leave only 12 meters.  I don't
think it will do 6 meters but may be worth a try.  I have the high power 160
meter trap for my 18HT but I do not currently use it (not interested in
selling it, sorry).  If you do put up the HT, try to figure a place where
you can "tilt it" as it comes with a hinged base...from the base to the tip
of the vertical whip, it is about 60 feet tall...(check details on this to
be sure).  Good luck.
Tony, W4FOA
