I had some email correspondence with Justin many years ago but he may be
pretty busy now with Innovantennas. I too have never been on 6m but I would
not hesitate to use one of his Yagi designs.
Many imperial tubing sized are close enough to the metric size to use as it.
If you cannot or do not wish to do that, you can easily convert the length
using W6NL's (ex W6QHS) element spreadsheet.

OK I am diving into the world of VHF 50 MHZ. My Radio has it and I have
never made an 6 meter contact . My Radio has the ability and I say why
not.
Still can teach and Old dog new Tricks ?
Ok after hours and hours of Google read and search I have come to he
conclusion G0KSC antennas are the one to build. His design are in
metric
and that's an ok to translate to 1/2 " or 3/8" but the material I have on
hand is for a step down ( tapered) elements.
Must be my bad I have tried to send him Email ( I assume he's blasted with
requests ) but never got a reply.
DK7ZB had a neat 4.3M antenna but design has only ONE stepped/tapered
element
The split driven element .
Any body have a Imperial measurement tapered design for 5 element for 4.3 M
or
4.4M boom = 14.5 or 15 ft ?
Thanks in advance
Wayne W3EA
