	Moxon Rectangles for 6 Meters
		I have found that from 6 meters on upward, connectors and their associated leads contribute reactance to the feedpoint impedance.
		Mark a point on the 6' length of tubing that marks the center of the bent corner and leaves excess on both the tail and the parallel sections.
		However, for general coverage of the FM region of 6 meters, a version with fatter elements is strongly advised.

	The WA7X Beacon Page
		The 6 meter beacon operates on a nominal carrier frequency of 50.0700 MHz, the 2 meter beacon operates on 144.2990 MHz, and the 70cm beacon operates on 432.3990 MHz.
		The 2 and 6 meter beacons are based on GE Master Exec II VHF transceivers, each with a 110 watt P.A. The receivers were removed (as they were not needed in this project) and the transmitters were re-crystalled and retuned for their respective frequencies.
		A view of the beacon's 6 meter J-pole antenna mounted at the peak of the roof and the "temporary" (but seemingly becoming permanant) 2 meter cycloid dipole is to the right.

	The KI7DX 6 Meter Repeater
		On 6 meters, this is even more true than for 2 meters (in comparison with 70 cm.) Don't expect the tiny rubber duck antenna that you got with your HT to work very well.
		It just so-happens that 6 meters is a pretty good fit for this sort of construction: The frequency isn't so low as to make construction too impractical due to very large components, and it isn't so high that losses mount to intolerable levels before one gets enough isolation.
		Given two stations - on a 6 meters and one on 2 meters - identical stations in terms of receive sensitivity and transmit power and that they are both using quarter-wave ground plane antennas, the 6 meter station will have a signal that is nearly 10db (that's 10 times) stronger than the 2 meter station.

	High-Gain, Wide-Band Yagis for 10, 6, and 2 Meters
		The second approach was to convert the 20-meter design into its equivalent uniform diameter element equivalent, scale this antenna, and then create a set of tapered diameter elements suitable for 10 meters, adjusting their lengths to be equivalent to the substitute model.
		The (re-)design goal that I set for myself on 6 meters was to see if the antenna could be reset to hold its characteristics across the first 2 MHz of the band.
		At 6 meters, the element taper can be simplified to two steps: 0.5" for the center section and 0.375" for the outer sections.

	Length of a Human Intestine
		It measures approximately 1.5 meters in length and its primary function is to absorb water and electrolytes that have already passed unabsorbed through the small intestine.
		Therefore the average length of the human intestine is equal to the length of the small intestine added to the length of the large intestine.
		As a result the average length of the human intestine can be anywhere from 6 to 8.5 meters in length depending on size and age of the person it occupies.

	North Carolina 6 Meters
		The Magic Band of 6 Meters has seen growth in activity, particularly during the past five years, to the point where there have been more clubs taking equipment for 6-meter operation during Field Day, the premier Amateur Radio event.
		1998 may well mark the year in which the turning point occurred for 6 Meters, when it became one of the premium bands for clubs to operate on during Field Day.
		This is because many clubs in the U.S. and Canada that remembered to take 6-meter gear with them were rewarded with two back-to-back days of Sporadic-E activity on 27-28 June that was both long and had wide coverage.

	Geologist digs deep - the Pito Deep, 6,000 meters beneath the ocean
		Illinois structural geologist Stephen Hurst "holds hands" with Alvin, the deep-sea submersible, which was used to probe Pito Deep, a rift in Earth's crust nearly 6,000 meters deep about 350 miles north and slightly east of Easter Island.
		Having participated in six similar cruises, Hurst was involved with many technical operations of the expedition, from preparing bathymetric maps to analyzing photographs to diving in Alvin.
		The floor of Pito Deep lies about 1,500 meters deeper than Alvin can safely dive, but this was not a problem for the researchers.

	6 meters at AllExperts
		The 6 Meter band is part of the VHF spectrum but exhibits some of the HF propagation mechanisms, and because of this peculiar behavior it is sometimes called the Magic Band.
		The 6 Meter band is not as popular as the 2 Meter band because of antenna size, legal issues, frequency, and power restrictions.
		In United Kingdom, it is legal to use 6 meters between frequencies 50 to 52 MHz, with some limitations at some frequencies.

	6 Meters - QRPedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While 6 Meters technically is located in the VHF bands, it does share some characteristics of the upper HF bands.
		6 Meters is a hybrid band, sharing characteristics of HF and VHF/UHF bands.
		For the homebrewer, six meters is the easiest VHF band to build transmitters for due to the small number of frequency multiplier stages needed.

	CNW Group \| ETRUSCAN RESOURCES INC. \| Etruscan's Finkolo Gold Project in Mali hits 6 meters of 33 grams
		HALIFAX, Nov. 6 /CNW/ - Etruscan Resources Inc. (EET.TSX) reported new results received from eleven drill holes on the Finkolo Gold Project in southern Mali, highlighted by 51 meters of 5.7 g/t gold which included 6 meters of 32.7 g/t gold.
		Drilling has focused on the Tabakoroni Main Shear Zone over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers to a vertical depth of 130 meters, and a resource estimation is anticipated by year end.
		High grades and widths were also reported from extensions of the Tabakoroni Main Shear Zone to the north in hole TAC-226 (7 meters of 17.6 g/t including 1 meter of 96.4 g/t), and as previously reported on August 30, 2007 to the south in hole TAC-207 (35 meters of 3.3g/t).

		Right now I have 114 countries worked and I hope in the near future to be able to apply for my DXXC award, I'm still missing a couple of QSL's.
		I have just finished a new antenna wich will be installed to it's final position on the tower, it's a 5 element Yagi on a 7 meters long boom optimized for the best gain / pattern with an estimated gain of 12 dBi.

	Why Was 6 Meters So Good Last Fall?
		“Many 6 meter operators who were on the Magic Band during the mid-1990s had not yet experienced significant levels of F2 propagation on 6 meters.
		Thus, 6 meter operators were looking toward the peak of the current solar cycle (Cycle 23), which seemed to occur during late 2000.
		One of the big things with regard to this cycle compared with the last one was the presence of many more 6 meter operators because of 6 meters now being a common band in the newer HF rigs.

	iB::Topic::Anything happening on 6 Meters
		Well, 6 meters depends on a lot of factors..
		but lately 6 meters hasn't been very active HERE at my location, and I am using a very compromised antenna, a 1/4 wave horizontal dipole about 25 ft in the air.
		That is, unless there's a good band opening, and then you'll find 6 Meters "chock full 'o hams" from 50.125 -50.200 MHz and even higher, to give DX pile-ups on HF real competition! But that's NOT an everyday occurrence.

	Historic Earthquakes
		The summit and south flank areas of Kilauea Volcano were displaced by vertical and horizontal movements of several meters, forming many ground cracks and faults.
		To the south and southwest of this zone of maximum faulting, vertical displacements of as much as 0.5-1.0 meters were common along other faults.
		At Punaluu (7.6 meters), 30 kilometers southwest of Halape, several wood-frame houses were flattened or washed off their foundations; nearby county park facilities were damaged severely, and buildings at the Seamountain Resort sustained heavy nonstructural damage.

	Mil Heavy-Lift Helicopters
		The Mi-6 had hydraulically-operated rear clamshell doors and a ramp for cargo loading, and the cargo bay had a pulley block system and a winch with a lift capacity of 800 kilograms (1,760 pounds).
		Stub wings with a span of 15.3 meters (50 feet 2 inches) were fitted to provide lift in forward flight, with the wings set at an incidence of 15.75 degrees.
		They were removeable and generally taken off when the machine was used as a flying crane, since when flight speeds were low the wings simply became dead weight.

	ONE ELEMENT MULTI BAND VEE BEAM - 20 THRU 6 METERS!
		Take a Double Extended Zepp design for 6 meters using 1/2 inch or larger element material such as EMT, copper or aluminum.
		Connect a remote tuning unit directly to the balun (ATU must cover 6 meters) for example, the LDG RT11 ATU.
		I think that it also is a good DX antenna, the only problem is that stations within 1000 miles is "bending" your S-meter, so you really need extremely strong filters to be able to work in the DX-window.
