[SixClub] Six meter antennas

[davidworboys at comcast.net]

With the problems of HOA's and antenna restrictions, I have worked the last
year on 6m on a homebrew dipole with surprisingly good results. Having had
to move my QTH (in a hurry), I have just got the dipole back up but I was
advised by a feloow ham (and indeed I have just read the same sort of advice
in this months QST) that through a tuner, an 80 or 40m dipole will do the
job as well or better, thus cutting down on at least one run of coax. Has
anyone done this?
