I do not think the physical element gets any shorter on 6M than on 20M.
Only the tape inside the tubing is shortened for the different bands. Wind
loading would stay the same regardless of band. This from memory of seeing
one at Visalia several years ago that was opened for inspection of the
motor/and tape mechanism. Please correct me if wrong.
