[Fourlanders] Help with 6 meter beam

[GORDON MACIE]

Now that everyone has recovered from the June Contest
(not !).

I have a Hygain 66DX. 6 elements on a 24' boom. 
Is this beam regarded as a good performer ? I am open
to modifying but haven't had much success googling for
a optimized design. I found the nw3z article about owa
beams but it only covers 10 meters. I found a cebik
article but it was 6 el on a 14' boom. That didn't
seem right ?.. 

The m2 squared antenna's seem margin mechanically to
me. I guess I could use their measurements ?. I am not
a eznec / antenna modeler.
