[SixClub] best 6 meter vertical

[Monte L. Simpson]

I am with you now.  If you're looking for decent VSWR 
>From 50-54 the Comet GP-15 isn't the one to look at.  I
finally had to put a tuner on my setup and even with that
the VSWR isn't anything to brag about.  I've only got about
48' feet of LMR-400 and a splitter between the radio and the
antenna.

hi monte
the Par OA50 is a horizontal polarized antenna
i am looking for a vertical antenna to use with FM not SSB
the comet would be fine if i needed a multi band antenna but i need a
6 
meter vertical antenna with some gain to it
thanks for the help
