[TowerTalk] Telrex 6M624 antenna

[Steve Katz]

I don't have the 6M24 drawing, although I did own the antenna for years.
 
The Hy-Gain six element beam for 50 MHz is a near carbon-copy knockoff, however.  The only real difference between the Telrex and the Hy-Gain is the Hy-Gain used clamshell element clamps to attach the elements, whereas the Telrex ran the elements straight through the boom, except for the driven element which was insulated.  They both use a T-match and coax balun at the DE.
 
Maybe that will help -- the Hy-Gain instructions, dimensions, etc. are on line at their website.

Hi Joe,

    I inherited a Telrex 6M624 from an Elmer friend.  It is in pieces and
like yours needs a little refurbishing.  More importantly I'm looking for
any documentation on assembly for this antenna.  Might you have a manual or
Telrex assembly documentation for yours?

Thanks...
