TT,

Anybody ever try to load up a TV antenna on 6?  I have one on the roof and
got to thinking that it might actually resonate there.  The only issue
would be with the 75Ohm feed point.  I realize it won't work that well, but
with a tuner it might be better than nothing at all, 6 is the magic band
after all!

I just got a radio with 6 Meters on it and, with the weather we are having,
I won't be installing any new antenna's anytime soon, so this TV antenna
came to mind.  It's just sitting there since we got Cable, so I figured why
not!

Any comments/ideas?

We need a new thread anyway!

73,
