My 6m interest is 75% SSB, 15% cw & 5% FM simplex - that leaves only

Yes, but imagine their surprise when you show up on a 2m repeater with a
linked 6m input. When I lived in Philly I used to do that on 10m.
Once had a QSO with one guy in St Louis, one in Maine, one on 440 and me
all on a 440/10m linked repeater, I assume you could do similar with
6m too.

You should keep in mind what you don't use, you loose, the 6m band here
(Israel) is 50000 to 50200 with a 25 watt limit.
