You could even make the 6M antenna a single driven 
element out of  wire supported inside a PVC tube (tnx K8MR), positioned 
behind the A270-10  and be only slightly longer than the Cushcraft 
antenna alone.  
 
 


Actually, that wire does not need to be inside the PVC, just taped  or 
tie-wrapped to the outside. The PVC is just for mechanical support, so that  one 
piece of rope/string will hold the thing in the air.

I think this  antenna will maximize the performance/price or 
performance/effort  ratio.
