This book got me into 6 meters! Stellar! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I too, could not put down this book once I started reading it (I have all 3 editions)! In fact, it was key in whetting my interest for finally getting on the 6 meter band, and I never looked back! It is a great resource on 'everything 6 meters', and reading it may actually surprise you, in terms of learning things about SIX that you may not have known before. The latest edition is the most definitive, and it also describes the fascinating 'mother of all great 6 meter DX openings' thus far, mainly, the one that occured in the Winter of 2001/2002! 6m enthusiasts were working overseas DX running mobile setups and simple halo and loop antennas with just a few watts out!

great book Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I got this book from a friend after he was done reading it. I have been on 6 for a little while, and somethings were not clear to me. After I read this book it answered most, if not all, of my questions. Its a great book! I have the 3rd edition, and its great, can't wait til it's is revised again! 73 Ed

2 Thumbs Up! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Excellent book for the neophyte 6 meter operator. The books describes the equipment needed, the propagation you are likely to encounter and best times of the year for DX as well as working Grid Squares. Also includes some classic ads for 6 meter equipment of years past. If you are interested in 6 meter operation, buy this book!
