Has anyone had any problem with the M2 6M7JHV antenna?  This has a 30'8"
Boom which is only 1.5" dia.  I am looking to get on 6m and want the most
value for the buck.  This seems to be it.  However, everything I have ever
read says to use a larger boom for this type of length.  Just curious if it
is a bit too floppy in the air.  Should I consider another antenna of
similar size/gain?  I am planning on putting this at about 52' in the air on
a second tower with possibly a 5 el 10 meter antenna a few feet under it.
This would be my primary 6m antenna.  Other suggestions would be
appreciated?

Thanks es 73
