[SixClub] Interesting 6M Gain Antenna

It is really interesting, could theoretically designed so that it could
be raised and lowered on a non-conductive flagpole - or at least one
where the top section is non-conductive - and maybe swapped in and
out for antennas designed for other bands.

One could disguise it with colorful kite material and have an attractive
gain antenna that isn't offensive to the yard-nazis in deed-restricted
communities.  ;-)

We live in the woods so I just have to please my longsuffering wife,
KG4SBV, who would prefer pretty but who tolerates practical.
