[HiDARG-MEMBERS] 6 meter Vertical Dipole

[Ray KG7AV]

Surprised and pleased to find out that my Cobra Sr loads up rather 
efficiently at 50.3.  For FM I might just built a copper catcus.  My 
initial calc shows it at about 13.5 feet.  That's a lot of pipe.  Also 
found an interesting article by an Aussie who built a 6m slim-jim out of 
300 ohm twinlead!
