> Hello all, I am a general class ham and have been licensed since 1998, but
am new to six meters.  I recently bought a little MFJ 9406 ssb,cw rig.  I am
currently using 6 meter vertical whip mounted on my truck and run in through
the window to listen on .125 mostly.  I made a contact the first day I got
it with a quickly put together dipole taped around wall of my family room.
That was exciting!  By this spring I want to put up an antenna on the roof.
That's where I could use some advice.  I won't be a contester, just a casual
operater.  Is a vertical antenna of some sort good enough to use, or do I
need a small beam antenna.  All advice will be much appreciated.  I have
been looking at an MFJ stacked 5/8 antenna for about $50.  Does anyone have
experience with those?  Thanks again.  de kc0dzd, Charlie in SE Mo.
