G0KSC has several free six meter OWA designs on his web page:
<http://www.g0ksc.co.uk/50mhz-owa-yagis.html>. Justin's designs
should be easy to build at home and perform to the model without
tweaking as long as one uses insulated elements mounted above or
below the boom.
YU7EF also has several 6 meter OWA designs with varying numbers of
elements and boom length on his web page: <http://www.yu7ef.com>.
Again, Pop's designs should perform to the model without tweaking
if one uses insulated elements and the correct size element tubing.
Both Justin and Pops designs feature direct 50 ohm feed and have
been built by many independent users/builders.

After adding three 6M elements to my roof
mounted, Hygain tribander, this by using
Joe Hallas, W1ZR's excellent tutorial. I
have a different matching system than his
and I had to move the capacitively coupled
driven element 25" forward instead of 10
but it works pretty well.
With that, I've decided to explore 6
meters after almost 40 years of working
the HF bands. I just bought a nice 6M amp
and really should have a separate 6M beam
and one with more than 3 elements.
I haven't found a used one to buy locally
and might just be better off making my
own. Unfortunately, it won't be mounted
more than 35' high but it will be
something better than I have now.
I don't have the design software to design
my own, so wondering if anyone has plans
for a 6 element yagi that they've worked
out, that they might share with me.
Thanks & 73,
