[TowerTalk] 6 meter antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

I had some email correspondence with Justin many years ago but he may be
pretty busy now with Innovantennas. I too have never been on 6m but I would
not hesitate to use one of his Yagi designs.

Many imperial tubing sized are close enough to the metric size to use as it.
If you cannot or do not wish to do that, you can easily convert the length
using W6NL's (ex W6QHS) element spreadsheet.

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
