If the disc is big enough, it should work on 6. Most discones are usually
designed for 100 MHz and up. To add lower end frequencies, they usually add a
vertical element but that's limited in frequency coverage. But it's possible to
make one cover from 50 MHz on up. I don't recall the formula on how big the
disc needs to be. Of course it's vertical radiation and no gain.
