Having now got a 6 metre facility (viz, 6m converter project uncomplete
under
the bench from 20 years ago :-( ), I wonder
what are the favoured antennae for this band?
And, as the FT450D has a single antenna jack, is there an antenna design
that would cover 6M as well as the HF bands?

just ignore it...6m is a merrycan band....

The local S20, etc, population must have decamped somewhere, unless, that
is, they
are all 12 WPM failures and are now on HF masquerading as _REAL_ radio
amateurs?




WHY 2M DIED.....

The Fls started to appear on 2m and treated it like local 11m and abused it
and those on it....decent hams went elsewhere...hammy mens went onto their
stolen HF where the wanted to be anyway....class Bs went onto HF where they
always wanted to be anyway and abandoned 2m....that is why 2m is dead

Until I read the last bit, I was going to add
"And God's in His heaven, and all's right with the world".
However, I guess He isn't, and it isn't.
