I want to get back into ham radio and I plan to start with QRP. Right now I have no equipment except a $10 analog shortwave superheterodyne receiver, an analog multimeter, and a soldering iron.

Here's my current plan for getting started with QRP. The plan is designed to get me experience in building rigs and to have a useful array of test equipment that will serve me later, as well as keeping costs down.

I just discovered this web site and there seem to be knowledgeable Pixie builders here. I was wondering, can the Pixie be modded for 6 meters? I was wanting to try my luck with 6m because I could put up a half-wave dipole, which isn't possible for me on the lower-frequency bands.

These pages seems to indicate it can be modded for 6m:
