I disagree, there is practically 0 activity on 440. I've had it up for a while and have yet to reconnect the coax. Six, on the other hand, has plenty of activity, and not necessarily all locals. I'd go with 6.<br><br>

Yeah, I agree with you Tyler...that 3 El Cushcrap for 6 isn't worth it. if<br>
you could get a 5 El M2 up, now that would be different! Stick with 2 and<br>
