[TowerTalk] 6 meter antenna

[Jon]

Wayne,
Start with something simple...such as a moxon or a 3 element 50ohm direct
connect yagi.
They are both simple to build and will get you on the air sooner.
On that note, it can be one of the most frustrating bands to work...but
when it is open it is rocking.

73,
