[TowerTalk] 6 meter antenna

[Wayne Kline]

 OK  I am diving into the world of VHF  50 MHZ.  My Radio has it and I have never made an 6 meter contact .  My Radio has the  ability and I say why not.

Still can teach and Old dog new Tricks ?


 Ok after hours and hours of Google read and search I have come to he conclusion  G0KSC  antennas are the one to  build.   His design are in metric and  that's an ok to translate to 1/2 " or 3/8"  but the material I have  on hand is for a step down ( tapered)  elements.


 Must be my bad I have tried to send him Email ( I assume he's blasted with requests )  but never got a reply.


DK7ZB had a neat 4.3M antenna but design has only ONE stepped/tapered element The split driven element  .


Any body have a  Imperial measurement tapered design for 5 element for 4.3 M or 4.4M boom  = 14.5 or 15 ft ?



Thanks in advance
