6 meters?  That band won’t be open for another 6 years when (if?) the solar cycle peaks again.  Back around the turn of the century I worked Pitcairn Island and the Kingman Reef expedition on 6m.  Beat that for rare DX!

I’m using a Buckmaster off-center-fed dipole that works on the harmonically related bands 80-6.  Doesn’t work on 60m or 160m.  One leg is 45ft and the other is 90ft… 135ft total and no tuner needed.

20m is crap 90% of the time yet, so this solar flux pop was a real treat.  But we are still bottoming out on the solar cycle.
