<font face="Verdana">Our deck isn't quite big enough for me to get a
good shot. At the very top of the image is the 11el 2M yagi,
below it is the 4el 6M 'Frakenbeam'. The pole is ~10ft high plus
about 5ft of 1.5inch Sched40 PVC pipe above the rotor. The pole
is mounted to an old non-penetrating roof mount designed for a
small VSAT (satellite) antenna.<br>

<span title="" class="">Thank you</span> for your report
and summary. I enjoyed it as well. I planned to make a
home drew antenna for 6M. But unfortunately, Glassfiber
fishing rod I planned to use as pole did not come on time,
so I just use paracord and speaker wire and make kind of 1
λ loop antenna. I attach a photo of antenna how I set up.
I set up this antenna on my deck which is only 9 feet from
ground. It's very simple but the antenna works just fine
and able to QSO to one of west coast station with FT8. I
never work other than FT8 yet on 6M, so I will try other
mode as well on September!<br>
