Hello Walter:
We are presently working on a 6 Meter antenna system for our new 6 Meter
repeater.
After looking at the various options, we decided to use some old surplus
DB-212 Decibel products Side mount antennas. You can use these side
mounted folded dipoles in a single, double, triple, and quad type
configuration. We picked up some old beat up units and are using three
of them on a three leg self supporting tower. You can easily build the
phasing harness for the more than one type configuration.
Check the specifications and application sheets on this antenna,
available on a number of web sites.
If you chosse the three antenna option as we did, you will get gain and
a fairly good omni pattern. We thought this arrangement would be easier
than trying to mount a large vertical off the tower.
Ciao, Tony, K3WX
