  I've been researching 6-meter antennas and found a lot of nice construction 
articles out there for 3 and 4 element antennas.  Well, running out of time, I 
purchase a Cushcraft A50-3S for a good price.  In my research, alot of people 
used a 5-inch diameter roll of coax with 5 turns as a choke balun.  Is that 
needed?  I understand what it is doing on the antenna, but gee.....its 6 
meters.  The Cushcraft has a gamma match feed.  I just don't see the coax 
radiating that much with just a 100 watt transceiver.
   
  Just wondering?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find 
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is 
Common Sense devine?
