[SixClub] Good News for 6-Meter Antennas

[6n2mtrham at comcast.net]

The very best advice anyone can give, "MOVE", yes move to a house on the highest hill, put up three 180 foot towers, and on six, get four 11el M2 antennas. Then and only then will you be happy.

In the mean time, a rotatable dipole is better than a halo or a squalo. Put a reflector element behind the dipole that will give you 3 db more gain. If you can't do that, a loop will work, remember not to shield it with metal, these antennas work better out in the open.
