[SixClub] Commercial vertical antenna for 52 MHz

[Gabriel Sierra]

Hi!,

I have some old AES catalogs with the 6 meter Ringo
ranger featured. They said it to have a 6 dB gain and
was way pricey. And, as I said, people who got to use
it, said it was crap, literarilly. I never used it, so
I don't know. The Diamond DPGH-62 is a 5/8 collinear
(frankly, I had built 4 element collinears, and this
one doesn't look like it, but 21' versus 35' on a real
collinear 4 element, is really nice!), 6 dB gain.
