6 meters is an interesting band, however it has never had the popularity of
other bands from 80 to 2 meters. If you are in a fringe zone for channel 2
television, you will find out why.

Forget the hams; when you get a number of channel two television watchers
complaining to the FCC as well as to the channel, you will find out exactly
why it has never been as popular as other bands (best include 440 as well).


Hell, 220 is a US only band, so equipment is expensive. Not a
lot of market for it. It's pretty private, though. 440 has lots
of repeaters, but it's not as popular as 2 meters is.
