Six Meter Band
For folks with some time and a little extra money, you might think about ...

Ya know, I've tried out 6 meters. The ability to communicate on 6m over any kind of distance comes and goes. And, for local comms, 2m and 70 cm are much, much better. I'd think about a 2m + 70cm setup before I'd invest in 6m for emergency preparation.
