[Antennas] 6 meter question

Fri Jul 21 15:30:23 EDT 2006

I just purchased the same antenna. I also have a space problem for antennas.
I have a Radio Shack pushup mast that I use to support the center of my G5RV 
antenna. I mounted the SQ-50 six meter antenna 3-4 feet above the G5RV about 
33 feet from the ground.
