Would six channels be a reference to ham radio? Would that mean Channel Six? Anything significant about Channel six?

Unlikely. Nothing is "channelized" in ham radio. The likely alternatives would be citizens band radio, FRS (family radio service) or GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service). Walmart and others sell FRS radios for unlicensed use and GMRS (requires a $75 license) for business use.

TV stations and satellite services are also channelized. The audio portion of TV channel 6 can be picked on a standard FM radio (88 MHz to 108 MHz). Ch 6 audio is found near 88 MHz.

Also, one has to be licensed with the FCC to use Ham Radio Frequencies (although I guess people could 'fake it' with a false call sign). You can look up call signs on QRZ.com, to get names of those licensed. I don't know if there is a search engine on QRZ to pull up a specific name (like Mohammed).

Anything significant about Ch. 6 there?
