Thanks to all that responded to my question. A majority of the responses
suggested making the antenna into a Hygain VB-66DX which is a 6 element 6 meter
beam on a 24 ft. boom. The manual is available from Hygain to download and
contains all of the dimensions and detail needed. One responder suggested that
I swap my 105BA for his Hygain 66B. That sounded like a real turnkey solution
to me so I am looking into that...

Subject: [TowerTalk] Converting Hygain 105BA to Six Meters
Hi,
I have a 105BA that I have been thinking of converting to six meters. I am
sure it could be done but am wondering if anyone has done this or has the
actual data for this conversion. I would like to use the existing elements and
shorted them appropriately and use all or most of the 24 ft boom length so I
would guess it would end up a 6 element yagi on six. I do not have any modeling
software or know how to use it so I guess I am looking for sort of a turnkey
solution. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and 73's,
Harry
