[SixClub] Six meter antennas

[larry fields,n6hpx/du1 manila]

    Hi Rob glad to see it worked for you, I have had
pretty good success with mine. Been looking at the ham
stick as an extra antenna. Would like to put it in my
suitcase if small enough.
    The one I been using the MH-510, has gotten me
into a few good repeaters but there are still some
that are hard to hit. I can hear em,but still cant
workem. 
    Will be checking a few more tonight.
