Since I live in a Condo:
·
Practically speaking, 6 meters is low band for me!
·
Packed away I have the following :
o
Kenwood TS-440S – HF All Mode Radio
·
I’ve had this since ~1989
·
When I get into a house again, this will be my main HF radio
o
NCG 7/21/15 – triband SSB & CW radio
·
There are only ~200 in the US
·
When I get into a house again, this will be my dedicated 40 meter
NVIS radio
