You will appreciate the extra dB improvement if you try to make any weak signal contacts. I know that most of the 6m operators around the world live in geomagnetically friendly places and only get on for strong signals on Es and F2, but there are a growing number of us weak signal operators who are coming to appreciate the real magic that 6m has to offer. Now that we are at the bottom of the solar cycle, the conditions for EME are BEST, and I worked two new DXCC so far this week on 6m EME. Frankly, there is DX EVERY MONTH on 6m if you are patient and willing to look for it ;-) The K3 (with an external preamp) is ready-made for working weak signal modes such as JT65A because the computer interface is built-in - GREAT JOB, Elecraft! I am very much looking forward to the next new 6m DXCC contact with someone who has a K3 and an ACOM 1000!
