[TowerTalk] 6 meter antennas ?

[AD5VJ Bob]

For my money

I made a double bazooka that was tuned for 80 meters. I was very surprised to find out that after I got my TS-2000 about four years
ago now, I got allot of complements on 6 meters using that as the antenna. It actually tuned up very well on 6 meters for some
reason.

Luke 14:28-30    

 28"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it? 29For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30saying, 'This
fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
