[50mhz] 6m antenna

[Chris Boone]

A Moxon would be easier to build, smaller and lightweight compared to a
Quad....and just as much directional. 

Check Cebik's web site (you have to register to access it but its
free!).....or Google Moxon...plenty of info on them via the web!

Eduardo,
A simple and relatively good 6m antenna would be a 2 element 6m cubical
quad.  The material may be wood (bamboo), PVC or fiberglass or combinations
of those materials.  The element wire can be number 12, 14 or even #16 aws
gauge wire,  Solid or stranded type.   The boom is only about 75cm long and
the spreader arms are about 110cm long.   If you are interested I can send
you exact dimensions to construct such a compact 6m quad antenna.
