I have been asked by a good friend who lives on the island of Grand
Cayman, B.W.I. what make/model of 6 Meter yagi he should put up at
his station. As I don't operate 6 Meters and know nothing about the
current 6 Meter antenna world, I would appreciate any suggestions
from those with savy and experience on this subject.
Aside from performance, the antenna should be well engineered to stand
up in high winds, and endure a salt air environment. Perhaps
something like 6 elements on a 30' boom, give or take. It would
probably be side mounted at the 70-80' level.
Obviously, I'm taking the easy out by asking for advice rather than
doing some serious homework first. But then I'm sure there is far more
information available through this Reflector than I could ever dig up.
Please send your comments direct to: w5asp@aol.com
Thanks....
