Has anyone tried or seen a version of Kent's "Cheap Yagis" for 6 meters???

I have a design inwhich I have scaled all of the dimension proportionally
from the 144.200 versio to a 50.200 3-element design but thought I would ask
before I go out and buy the parts.

Elements are made of 1/2" copper tubing with a 2"x4" boom. 3elements work
out to a 58" +/- boom. 4element on a 117" +/- boom with a 3" gap on the "J"
section of the driven element.

Also, for the heck of it, figured out a 6element version on a 16'9" boom!
But will have to see how the 3 & 4 element versions work first...
