[Elecraft] OT - 6m antenna

[Bill Frantz]

I have a 10M vertical made of 1/2" copper water pipe with a 
ground plane of aluminum window screen. It works reasonably 
well. One piece of advice is to sweat or otherwise ensure good 
contact in all joints that should be connected in the antenna. 
Ask me how I know. :-)
