Im not sure how much room you have but a simply made Moxon can yield really 
 good results
over a dipole and you can feed that with Coax

N2MH elected to use Square Aluminum stock, but Ive seen Ops make them out  
of
scrapped aluminum beach chairs!
They're light to handle and not too big

Why a  balanced feed antenna?? Even a dipole would be easy for coax
feed...and a  simple choke balun can be done with a couple of turns of coax
taped near  the antenna. Or build a loop with a gamma match for direct  coax
feed...
DON'T use a tuner on 6.....you want the antenna tuned at  the antenna...not
at the radio...that just adds to feedline loss....and on  6m and up, I 
prefer
coax/Heliax over balanced  line

Sitting here  thinking of how great my christmas was (and I hope you
had a great one  too), I started thinking about putting up a 6m
antenna.  This one  would be fed by balanced line, but I'll need
unbalanced line for my tumer  that covers 6m.  I really don't have a
balun good for 50-54mhz.   I do have some T-200-2 toroids and some 24
gauge wire.  So, does  anyone know how many turns it would take to make
a balun for 6m if it is  possible?

Thanks in advanced for any help that I get.  And, I hope  to catch you
on the  air.

73,
Eric
