http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-meter_band As transceivers have become more available for the 6-meter band, it has quickly gained popularity. In many countries, including the United States, access is granted to entry-level license holders. Those without access to international HF frequencies often gain their first taste of true long-distance communications on the 6-meter band. Many of these operators develop a real affection for the challenge of the band, and often continue to devote much time to it, even when they gain access to the HF frequencies after upgrading their licenses.

Yep. I've kept my advanced ticket because they are rare these days, and even with my HF rigs, I still enjoy openings on 6 meters when you can work from Texas to California on a 5W handi-talki.
