Mat,

There are few repeaters on six meters, but when the band opens up it can be 
much fun. The op's work various grid squares, ask another ham in your area 
what yours is. I personally have used my 40 meter dipole on six meters and 
worked ten or 15 states as well as up in to canada with 100 watts.
