Arnie!
Have you ever thought about just loading up your Explorer 14 beam
on 6 meters just to give it a try? Many years ago a friend called me &
told me that 6 meters was "open" to JA land so I loaded up my 20 meter
monobander and worked several JA's. Got me hooked on 6 meters again and
have been active ever since. If you decide to put that dipole up,
definitely go with the quarter wave version.
See you on 6. BTW, the winter E-Season is about on us NOW! Have fun.

I've been licensed for over 40 yrs, and in all that time I've never been on 6m! I'm
thinking about hanging a 6m dipole off of my tower. My math tells me that it should
be about 10 feet long for a quarter wave. (468÷f in mhz) Would it be better if
I put up a full wave dipole, or is there a better idea? I don't particularly want a
beam on 6 because I probably would always be pointing in the wrong direction! I have
a ham III rotor, and an explorer 14 at 60 feet and that is about all the rotor is
rated for.
