[TowerTalk] 6 meter antenna

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Hi Wayne, 

 

Welcome to the wacky world  of 6m.  I have built this antenna myself and
found it to be an excellent performer.

I believe it'll meet your needs.  I don't think you really need step down
elements on 6m as they are not a long or wide element

to begin with.

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
