[TowerTalk] Question

[Arnie Pfingst]

I've been licensed for over 40 yrs, and in all that time I've never been on 6m! I'm thinking about hanging a 6m dipole off of my tower. My math tells me that it should be about 10 feet long for a quarter wave. (468÷f in mhz) Would it be better if I put up a full wave dipole, or is there a better idea? I don't particularly want a beam on 6 because I probably would always be pointing in the wrong direction! I have a ham III rotor, and an explorer 14  at 60 feet and that is about all the rotor is rated for.
