Hi Wayne,
Welcome to the wacky world of 6m. I have built this antenna myself and
found it to be an excellent performer.
I believe it'll meet your needs. I don't think you really need step down
elements on 6m as they are not a long or wide element
to begin with.

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
