I have not had ANY luck on 6 meters with K3 # 1713. I had been listening with my 80m horizontal loop, which my Palstar BT-1500 tunes to a flat SWR on 6m. Nothing heard over a full year. Since I still couldn't hear anything I built a 6m dipole a couple days ago and still no luck.
I can hear continuous carriers sometimes but nothing else. I routinely check DX spots sent by hams near me (Ohio by Lake Erie) and have no luck. I do use the internal preamp. Carriers on the 80m loop are louder than on the 6m dipole. I had the subreceiver installed last year by Elecraft (about 6 weeks turnaround) and did not notice any difference. Unfortunately I thought 6m was a dead band or my antenna was the problem at the time so I didn't think to ask Elecraft to check it out while they had the rig. Anything I could have screwed up on the rig to make 6m a dead band? No problems noted on any other band.
