[TowerTalk] 6m antenna

[greenacres113 at charter.net]

	6 yr.s ago I was in the same situation. Got a HF radio with 6m. My
friend told e to load my TA 33. Great SWR & I wrkd abt. a dozen
countries. I put up an MFJ 3 ele on a 6' boom. Wrkd abt 25 more. Then
to a 5 ele on a 12' boom etc,etc. Now I'm using a WVO which wrks
great. I've added a KPA500 to my K3 & just a few short of 100.

	If you want to start small you can make a 3 ele from an old
Channelmaster or Wingard TV antenna. Another idea is build a Moxon for
6m. I use a Moxon on 30m & it's a real DXers antenna. My WVO is made
from a HyGain 5 ele 10m beam I got for $100. Really heavy duty cut
down for 6m.

	In Nov/Dec here in EM56 we often get Oceania openings.

	Gud DX
