[VHFcontesting] Compact VHF+ beams

[steve d]

I am curious as to what everyone here thinks along the lines of compact VHF+ beams. I can't use the normal beams I have for VHF+ at the house because I can't put them outside and there isn't enough space to turn them in the attic. 
 
I have resorted to using my Cushcraft A270-10s for 2m/70cm and one of two wire HF antennas through a manual tuner and the auto tuner on my radio. Obviously the wire antennas are a pretty poor way to get on the band, but I have made contacts with them. 

I was looking at the hexbeam by wb3bel http://wb3bel.googlepages.com/ for 6m. I might be able to sqeeze something like that in the attic. What do you think? 
 
Another issue would be the proximity of the 2m/70cm beam. I  might have to scrap that one in favor of 6m as I don't have the space to spread the antennas out. Would there be any way of incorporating 2m and 70cm in to one hexbeam without destroying the pattern/performence completely? I know that is like asking dirt to turn to gold but hey, Ill ask anyway HI!
