Tam if you are New Jersey -- there are about thirty 6M repeaters in NJ to
say nothing of 6M repeaters in adjacent states

Be sure to see all 10 pages

And my area is channel 2 land as well --- if you mean TV channel 2, and I
have no problem with TVI

And after all these posts on "6M antenna help" I believe the original
poster is in the UK and is limited to 10 watts as Tony is an M3 class
license !!!!!

But was an interesting thread of posts

Tony,

Not too many people use 6m FM, but on SSB, If both ends are running 50W
to a 6 element beam at 50 feet, the probability of being able to work
out to 100 miles is essentially 100%.

This is channel 2 land. Essentially no 6 m FM. Why don't you try a simple
vertical first, and figure out how much more gain you are going to need,
if any. I just mentioned the SSB figures to show that you don't need to
have your antenna at 1000 feet.
