The trouble is, 6m on an HT is never quite what you want. 6m is all about DX, and for that you want a proper antenna (minimum, a 1/4 wave vertical, or a resonant loop), a goodly amount of power, and SSB/CW capabilities. 6m FM is fine lor local if you've got repeaters (and we have a few around here, though very few compared to 2m and 440 - I think 1270 has about as many repeaters as 6m here), but the antenna limitation still remains.

73 (I think that term comes from the old railroad telegraph days, to put this back on topic...)
