Thanks. A beam or turnstile are just not in the cards for my "tree"
antennas. This actually will serve a specific purpose. I have an old
Motorola FM rig that does both 10m and 6m with one feedline. The
vertical polarization is pertfect in this case. It might not be ideal
for 6m CW/SSB as a horizontal antenna is sure to be better for local
work. I just have to make sure the balun works correctly up to 54 MHz
at a couple hundred watts.
