And, here in DM09, , Elevation 5K feet, with winds in excess
or 70 MPH, my 7 El holds up just fine , except for when the TOWER
came down! But, with a total of 49 states worked,under this call
find it totally adiquite- and looked at the specs for this, vs.
the "JHV" 7 el, think the JHV is about a foot longer, has better
F/B, and .2 (2/10) dB extra gain! Think ANY of these would work fine
for all but the most discriminateing op (and never know the difference)!
and also, consider that get iceing here, maybe 2 inch dia. , and NOT
raining aluminium (elements falling off), like SOME other brands!

I am thinking for replacing my old Creative Design CL-6A 5 element 6 meter

Does anyone know where there's any comparatiuve data on them or where
there
are product reviews on the 6M7 or 6M2WLC (the JHV was in QST a few years
back)?

Thanks

There ok if you want a thin element narrowband yagi. They do show SWR
rise with ice and snow.

Myself I'd want fatter elements for wider bandwidth and a bit more
robust.

At least where I live, FM20, I don't see thin elements as a big deal. I have
had a KLM 50 - 7 LD up for over 20 years with no signs ef element damage. As
for bandwidth, 50.0 to 50.25 is really all you need for CW and SSB.
