[SixClub] best 6 meter vertical

[Monte L. Simpson]

I have had Comet GP-15 for several years and it's wonderful for
FM work, but my USB rig didn't work well at all with it.  It was
nearly impossible to get a good SWR.  I suggest you take a look
at the Par OA-50 omni angle antenna.  The price is reasonable and
they work well for a vertical polarized antenna.  They are light
and take up very little real estate.

My choice is the Diamond DPGH62

I also have a MFJ 1738 <52/146/222/440> that I bought for portable
operations http://ka5cvh.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=8.  It, the
Diamond V2000A, and the Comet GP-15 are in my opinion, poor
substitutes for a real antenna on 50 MHz but can serve a need if you
have limited space etc.

YMMV
