A 3el 6m yagi would work very well, all you need is a 50 ohm to 75 ohm
adapter @ about 20 feet. Use a small TV rotator, and when your not

watching
ch2 you can try calling CQ on 6m.



This experiment will probably turn into a 6m Yagi, anyway, since we won't
have an analog Channel 2 after DTV takes over in February.

I'll need to check the polarization for 6m. Right now I have a couple of
j-poles for 6m, vertically polarized. Thanks.

AM - SSB - CW - (digital) = Horizontal, FM = Vertical
