[SixClub] Wilson 1000 antenna for 6m?

Hi!

Just use it for 10/11 meters. To make it for 6,
according to Wilson Antenna (I wrote them about it 2
years ago), you would have to cut it, and the
resulting antenna will be to short to be any good.

Unless you find a way to remove the inner coil, there
is no business here. I do use the 54" whip of a Wilson
500 on a Radio Shack CB mag mount, of which I removed
the coil and made a direct connection. So far so good.
Consider an SB-15 or a Hamstick. People here have been
doing weird combinations that work! Some even migth
prove me wrong!
