There is very good reason that they would not consider 6 meter
operations: it isn't an efficient use of operating time for the most
wanted DXCC entity on Earth. For every minute used trying to make a few
contacts on 6 meters, the group could make dozens or hundreds of
contacts on other bands. Remember, this is the only entity a lot of
people need to be #1 on the DXCC Honor Roll. I wouldn't even think about
trying to work 6 meters, just as I would forgo digital or RTTY operations.
I know it's normal to want an expedition to feature our favorite bands
or modes, but everyone needs P5, so they should concentrate on the two
modes most everyone uses: CW and SSB. To do otherwise would essentially
deny people contacts.

Yes, K3's would be a great choice, since they are digital-ready and
have 6m ;-) The only problem is that they already said they have no
interest in even trying anything on 6m :-( What a shame! GL and VY

I'm guessing the rigs will either be K3s or FT5000s. Those would be
the on;ly two choices if I were leading the operation.
