I've been researching 6-meter antennas and found a lot of nice construction
articles out there for 3 and 4 element antennas. Well, running out of time, I
purchase a Cushcraft A50-3S for a good price. In my research, alot of people
used a 5-inch diameter roll of coax with 5 turns as a choke balun. Is that
needed? I understand what it is doing on the antenna, but gee.....its 6
meters. The Cushcraft has a gamma match feed. I just don't see the coax
radiating that much with just a 100 watt transceiver.
Just wondering?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is
Common Sense devine?
