[TowerTalk] 6m beam idea

[Alex Malyava]

Is there any good 6m/2m antenna design (or manufactured model) ?

I just talked to VA2WDQ a couple of days ago and he talked me into trying
the 'world above 30MHz' :)
He said he has separate beams for 6m and 2m, but I am just wondering whether
there is any chance to combine them on the same beam.
