[SixClub] Best 6 meter beam

[Steve Katz]

I'll second the motion for M2 beams.  I don't think there's any "best" but M2 provides great performance in lightweight, easy to assemble 6m beams and has a good variety to choose from.
 
My first "good" 6m beam in the 1960s was a 6 element Telrex on a 24' boom model 6M624 and it was very good; the Hy-Gain 6L is a clone of that.
 
The "little" (18' boom) 6M5X is a lot of bang for the buck and size.

I have a 6M5X (short boom) on one tower, and a pair of 6M2WLC's (longer
booms) on another tower.

Both Yagi types work very well.  M2 did a good job on the design performance
for boom length, and the mechanics are outstanding too.

No issues in almost 10 years of service surviving seasonal winds, T-storm
outflow, sizeable hail, heavy radial ice, and red tail hawks.
