I got the 6m yagi up and did some A/B testing. The antenna is an old MFJ 3 element beam that should probably be retired. I intended to get it up about 18 feet, but with the materials on hand, it ended up at about 15 ft.
The other 6m antenna is a dipole up 45 feet. I felt like it was a good antenna, but the yagi is much better so far. I copied W5JAY and K5CM for awhile and the yagi was at least one S-unit better. This morning, there were several HC stations on so I turned it South and the yagi was close to 10 db better. It also was better for noise pickup in most directions.
The dipole has almost 3 db of feedline loss on 6 and the yagi is fed with hardline most of the way. I'm sure that helps.
I dug out an old Ham-M rotator and installed it. It's a small setup, but if 6 gets hot enough, it will add a few more band counters.
