[TenTec] 6 Meter Antenna

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

There s nothing like a 4 or 5 element yagi on a 45 ft boom.  Unless it is a 
pair of them stacked.

As to the coax fed loop, it will work if you can match it.  As to how well, 
that remains to be known.  On the other hand, the 238 tuner is just too 
clumsy to make it to 50 MHz.  A dedicated tuner is preferred.

And when it comes down to it, a simple center coax fed dipole cut to about 
50.2 will do a nice job and it won't get any simpler.
