There s nothing like a 4 or 5 element yagi on a 45 ft boom. Unless it is a
pair of them stacked.
As to the coax fed loop, it will work if you can match it. As to how well,
that remains to be known. On the other hand, the 238 tuner is just too
clumsy to make it to 50 MHz. A dedicated tuner is preferred.
And when it comes down to it, a simple center coax fed dipole cut to about
50.2 will do a nice job and it won't get any simpler.

Subject: [TenTec] 6 Meter Antenna
TT Folks:
I have just purchased a TT Model 1208 6M. Converter and would like
some guidance on an antenna system for operating on 6 Meters...something
I have never done before. I currently have a 300 foot horizontal loop
antenna up about 25 feet which is fed by 50 feet of RG213 fed by a TT
238B tuner. Before I build a dedicated 6 Meter antenna system I wonder
if there is any possibility that my current loop antenna and matching
system could be used for 6 Meter operation? Appreciate any advice and
guidance you can share.
Thanks and 73! de KD4BRL Dick Knox
