[SixClub] Six meter antennas

[David-Hook]

Try the homebrew buddipole.It doesn't take up much room in your suitcase,
plus you can take some string and tie it to the ship railing since its made
out of lightweight PVC.I did that up in Alaska last year and was able to
operate all night from the top deck.
