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
