[50mhz] [VHFcontesting] Cushcraft A270-10S (triband VHF/UHF) beam question

[manualman at juno.com]

You could try moving the 2 meter and 432 elements to the front of the 6
meter section. It would require you to add an additional boom section and
also you would have to move the boom to mast clamps to balance the
antenna weight. Since the 2 meter and 432 elements are shorter, there's
probably minimal impact on gain on 6 meters although there might be some
front-to-back gain loss. Or, buy a separate boom and mount the 2 meter
and 432 elements on that and just make it a separate antenna.
