Yep, 6 m is the magic band.  I'm running 8W from a TenTec transverter 
driven by my TS850, to a W5GI (modified G5RV) at 50 ft and am trying to 
get a 6m Moxon done in time for Saturday.  I've worked VE1, VE9, SFL, ND 
near the MT border, CO, and as far south as TX, and a lot in between 
starting in July  '05 (missed May and June (sigh)).

Sure is fun.  Just like 160, but different.  ;^)  I've just started on 
both within the last 2 years.

73, Gerry  K8GT
