[TowerTalk] [Antennaware] 6m design to make a yagi

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

G0KSC has several free six meter OWA designs on his web page:
<http://www.g0ksc.co.uk/50mhz-owa-yagis.html>.  Justin's designs
should be easy to build at home and perform to the model without
tweaking as long as one uses insulated elements mounted above or
below the boom.

YU7EF also has several 6 meter OWA designs with varying numbers of
elements and boom length on his web page: <http://www.yu7ef.com>. 
Again, Pop's designs should perform to the model without tweaking
if one uses insulated elements and the correct size element tubing.

Both Justin and Pops designs feature direct 50 ohm feed and have
been built by many independent users/builders.

73,
