You could even make the 6M antenna a single driven
element out of wire supported inside a PVC tube (tnx K8MR), positioned
behind the A270-10 and be only slightly longer than the Cushcraft
antenna alone.
Actually, that wire does not need to be inside the PVC, just taped or
tie-wrapped to the outside. The PVC is just for mechanical support, so that
one
piece of rope/string will hold the thing in the air.
I think this antenna will maximize the performance/price or
performance/effort ratio.
