There is still considerable DX possibilities on 6M, especially during the 
June VHF QSO Party via multi-hop Es. On July 08 this year, many in the 
midwest and Pacific northwest worked Europe via 6M Es. While a 6M5X at 30 
feet will "do" single hop Es, a higher and bigger antenna such as a 6M7JHV 
at 75 or 100 feet will perform better on multi-hop Es. If you already have 
your 6M DXCC, please disregard. :-)
