Re: Possible 6M Opening

I have been wanting to to get into 6 meters for a while now. It sounds like an interesting band. I would like a mobile rig, as I am driving a lot. Would a mono band FM only rig be ok, or would not having SSB be of a great disadvantage? I was thinking of this one maybe...»www.universal-radio.com/catalog/···025.html

When six is open, it's stunning. An FM radio has just as much of a chance as an SSB radio does. I know people that have worked New York repeaters from here in SoCal.
The last time I had an antenna for six, it was an Antenna Specialists commercial model, something like a 5/8 over 1/2 wave. I couldn't run more than about 30~40 watts because all the electrical stuff in my building went nuts, but I was getting "60 Over" reports from the midwest.
Six really is the "Magic Band"!
