[UK-CONTEST] Dual 6M/4M beams?

[Bob Edgar]

Hi Alex,

Your comments on the 3 element 6m Moonraker are interesting.   I've had one 
of these on my roof for a few years, and I've never been able to get the 
gamma match to tune and stay tuned!   It seems to go in and out of tune at 
will.

The solution has been to use the auto ATU on my IC7400!   Performance-wise 
the aerial seems to work OK, but I've got nothing to compare it with really.
