[SixClub] 3 or 4 elements

[Dennis Kaylor]

hey phil
congrats on the TS600 its a nice radio and my first 6 meter rig
just curious what did you pay for it?

as for the beam the more elements you have the more gain you have and 
the narrower the pattern so spend as much money as possible on antenna 
and feedline
i would suggest M2 for the antenna www.m2inc.com they have a nice 5 ele 
its the 6M5X its a very nice antenna with great performance
cushcraft has a 3,4 and 5 ele yagis the model numbers are A50s-3(4) (5) 
they are a bit heavier than the M2 but still not bad antennas
good luck
