[TowerTalk] Cushcraft A50-5 Mods

[Michael Murphy]

I did the W5WVO mod on mine. It is currently at 70 feet and seems to
perform very well.

It is an easy mod that should take an hour or two to complete.

I don't have another 6 meter antenna to compare it to, but the comments I
have seen on the internet have all been positive.

Good luck.
