Hello Johnny,
The need for an extra 3 dB on 6m is why I opted for an M2 6M-1000 compact solid
state amp to take on DXpeditions. I was very sorry that Elecraft did not come out
with a kw amp, because it would have been very nice to have a matching amp that
worked on HF, too. But you are absolutely correct - 6m can be very challenging
and - especially on EME - the increased power of a few dB makes all the difference
in the world! In fact, many times even just one dB stands between success and
failure.
GL and VY 73, Lance
