Wow!  Sounds great.  Am thinking of putting up a 6-meter 
dipole.  Before I do that, I have a few questions about 6 meters:

Which mode do you use the most on this band to get all those 
long-distance contacts?

If you use FM to access repeaters, what are the splits, and what's 
the simplex freq for this band?

Have never operated on 6, and now have the opportuniyt, given that I 
have a pretty roomy backyard and a good hams network of guys able to help.

Thanks in advance.--Matt.

P.S.  Had my second DX contact via CW a week ago today.  Spoke with 
I1MMR, Mauro in Genoa, Italy.  Nice to have that general ticket and HF.
