*This is the easiest antenna for 6. The dimensions in there are for USB
portion of the band but you can adjust the length by folding the ends of
the antenna back on itself. Also, you can purchase a couple of HAM STICKS
and a center mount to make a vertical. This is great for HOA’s or
restrictive areas.*
