Hello!

With the ever-increasing interest in JT44 mode of weak signal communications, and
growing availability of HF amplifiers that now include 6m, there are a number of
stations with 6m EME capability.  And, often the only thing keeping DXpeditions from
operating 6m EME is the lack of a decent antenna.  Inspired by the success of AA7A
with his 6m rope yagi, I contacted VE7BQH about designing a version of a rope yagi
for 6m EME, to go along with his 2m rope yagi for EME that I have had on my website
for several years.

Here is the link to the 6m sloping rope yagi, most graciously produced by VE7BQH:

I hope this antenna makes it easier for more stations to try 6m EME! GL and VY 73,
Lance
