AE5HL here... I primarily operated HF, 40 meters being my favorite band, and should operate more 2 meters where I am now. 6 meters is a hard band to work as I understand it, but when it opens you can really connect around the world.

Oh, and by the way, I only operated 5 watts QRP (low power), never let me down...

N2TBI here licensed since 1991

KB6QVI, Tech? JOEL, Upgrade! the code tests are GONE!
and your general license only a VE session away...

Practice exams are available online...

AE5HL, Garry, the idea of 6meters never quite matches the reality.

10meters OTOH....
