I would strongly recommend *not* converting to 20 meters or any other
ham band.  The reason is possible leakage of a 20 meter signal through
the converter.  When you hear a weak signal, you want to be sure it's
a six meter signal and not leakage from the ham band.  Convert to 6, 8
or 9 MHz instead, or some other suitable frequency.
