6 Meters is a funny band. When it is open, it does not much to work great
distances. When it is dead, local opertion is even hard.

It is a fun band when you catch it open.

I have never been on 6 meters. Now that I am about to put up a 2 M antenna
and the rig I have will operate on both 6 and 2 M, I might just want to
try
a 6 M antenna. I have no idea what sort of distance I will be able to
operate. I would like to try a 6 M V beam as an antenna with 50 W input
power. Any idea what sort of results I will be able to expect? I live in
Eastern Ontario and the nearest concentrsation of radio amateurs is in
Ottawa, about 200 Km distance.
