[50mhz] [Fwd: Re: Sample of 6m Antenna Comparison Table]

[Lance Collister]

Hello!

VE7BQH has very generously agreed to do computer modeling of a number of popular 
6m antennas and prepare a table similar to the one that he developed some years 
ago to help 2m EME operators compare various 2m antennas and arrays.

Much of the information currently available regarding 6m beams seems to be 
confusing and in different terms, making it difficult to make decisions regarding 
what antenna to use, and/or what antennas to stack and/or how to stack them for 
the highest gain.   We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any 
comments regarding the value of this project before Lionel proceeds any further.

I promise to widely distribute the final product when it is finished.  I look 
forward to your comments. Thank you very much for your input.  VY 73, Lance

Lance:

Lets not concentrate on format for now.

We, make that you need to concentrate on the data being useful on this band..

I have filled in few more antennas to give better representation.

I do not want to go any further without being SURE this will be meaningful
to the 6M group. Even to do what I have done as a sample takes time.
Therefore, I do not want to get down stream and find I have to make major
changes.

I need you to contact a reasonable sample of the 6M people to see if we are
on the right track.
