We have used the BeppoSAX satellite to study the broad band ( 0.5-100 keV ) X-ray spectrum of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy MKN6 .
The source is characterized by a power law of \Gamma =1.7 ^ { +0.08 } _ { -0.07 } and there is no strong evidence for either a reflection bump or a high energy cut-off .
We have detected a narrow iron line at 6.4 keV ( rest frame ) with an equivalent width of 98 ^ { +33 } _ { -35 } eV .
MKN6 also exhibits strong and complex absorption .
At least two components ( N _ { H _ { 1 } } =1.34 ^ { +0.4 } _ { -0.4 } \times 10 ^ { 22 } cm ^ { -2 } and N _ { H _ { 2 } } =4.18 ^ { +2.2 } _ { -1.3 } \times 10 ^ { 22 } cm ^ { -2 } ) are present and they both partially cover the source with covering fractions of \sim 90 % and \sim 50 % respectively .
Comparison with a previous ASCA observation indicates that in both absorbing columns the N _ { H } 
is variable over a 2 year timescale , while the covering fractions are constant over the same amount of time .
The state of each absorber is cold or mildly photoionized .
The Broad Line Region ( BLR ) is suggested as the possible location for this complex absorption .
