This will not cure the problem perceived/observed by LA5HE and others, but I did notice Sunday evening that 7100-7105 was clear and unused, other than G4BUO CQing at 7100.6 or so. There were more rea

Another very cheap, simple, but effective 6 meter antenna I've used is the "PVC-1", a six meter dipole attached to a piece of 1/2" or 3/4" PVC pipe for mechanical support. You can pull it up into a t
