Default 50Mhz Antenna Conundrum

SNIP

When 6 meters is hot almost anything will work. I had put together a 6
meter to 20 meter transverter running about 10 watts. Hooked it to a
trapped dipole ( 40 to 10 meters) and the first contact I made was from
North Carolina to Canada.

To see how well the antenna is working you need something to compair it to.
Say a 6 meter dipole .


Ralph,

Looks like I'll be up in the loft again next weekend! I had a good
weekend giving away points in the UK 6m Group contest, it's a very
interesting band.

Cheers,


Charlie.
