SJDXA,

During the Zoom call the other evening there was alot of talk about 6m and then how some folks were interested in getting an antenna up for that band. Below is an antenna I can recommend that is inexpensive, extremely easy to assemble, and very lightweight but very rugged which is made by PAR Electronics down in NC. See: Stressed Moxon antenna | PAR Electronics | Filters for the commercial 2 way market, MATV, FM broadcast, laboratory, marine industry, amateur radio, scanner and short wave listening enthusiasts

 

It is lightweight and can be pushed up with PVC [pole or anything else you have laying around]. A very small rotor can drive the thing with no problem- or use none at all like I did initially and turn by hand, as required. Tune it up for 50.313 (the FT8 portion of 6m), and put up around 25 feet and you'll work your share of DX.

Anyway.... a potential and solid performer to those looking to get onto 6m w/o alot of fuss. Let me know if you have any further questions- I've had one up for a few years and very happy with it.
