[SixClub] Finally some sigs

[Doug Huchteman]

Dennis, I haven't had any problems with M2 antennas matching network.  First 
a 6M3 and now a 6M5X have performed just fine.

I haven't used the A505-6 but know many who do with good results.  As a rule 
of thumb, I've always heard that a yagi with longer  boom length will give 
more gain.  The M2 has a 18 foot boom as opposed to Cushcrafts 12 foot boom. 
But then again I was able to work most of my 48 states (including KH6) and 
some SA with a  3 element with a 8 foot boom.

Actually, I've been thinking of looking for a shorter boom yagi for my house 
mast,  the 6M5X won't point NW due to a large Maple tree (about 2 feet 
overlap a large limb).  I was thinking of putting up the 6M3 but maybe the 
A505-6 would be a better deal.  I'm putting a serious radio shack into the 
shop at the back of my lot over the winter with a 70 foot tower and the 6M5X 
would go there.
