[Antennaware] 6m wire antenna

[kg7hf at comcast.net]

Hi Eduardo,

Of course a simple dipole would work, but for gain, maybe a dipole beam might be better.

I like to use a horizontal collinear, this is what I use on 20 meters.

It of course could be scaled to operate very effectively at 6 meters.   I have also used a single element which is not stacked on 20, and from a remote island in Vermont, was able to work 48 countries in the EU with QRP of 5 watts.

It is a very effective antenna.

73s,
Paul
