Might get some hints from a QST article August 1958, page 136: Putting the DX-40 on 6 meters

It wouldnt be very efficient doubling but neither would it need neutralization.

Probably easier to get another, strip and build just for 6m or 6 & 10 where the low power can be heard well.

I've wondered about that .  My DX-60 covers 10-80 meters but the matching HG-10 VFO has both 6 and 2 meters on it .  The Heathkit transmitters for those bands all seem to have their own built in VFO's ,  of course I suppose you can use that VFO with other brandnames  .  Its curious why Heathkit did that with the VFO and not put it on the transmitter .

It's difficult to make, and run well, especially with "kit builders", a 80 to 2 meter transmitter. I'm sure the 6 and 2 meter addition in the HG-10 VFO was designed to appeal to users with other crystal controlled 6 and 2 meter rigs.
