I would recommend a Force 12 C3. The antenna is small, light, and easy to
put together. It is somewhat costly, about $600, but works very well. I
have had two of these antennas and never had a problem with either.
The SteppIR mentioned by Bernard seems to be a fine antenna and is
designed to work the WARC bands/6 meters. Unfortunately you pay a price
for this additional capability in dollars and complexity.

You might want to consider the 3 element SteppIR. It works 20 - 6 M
