"resonant on 6 meters" >>>>yes so is a dummy load!!!!
Yes have talked to guys on those beams before, plus 2 and 4 element versions will pretty much do same.
Op about 300 miles away has one. He has 4 "L" version...It works, but we "played" with it, with me looking at him.
It acts like a Giant Dipole(which OK) did not seem to mater which way he was pointed I could hear him. I did notice a little back rejection maybe 6 to 10db. However during scatter condx it was a big omni.
My 5 element LFA(14 foot Boom) had good Back rejection, however, sides were wide open. Not certainly a bad thing. I did alot of sitting one direction, when band was open... work sides/front and dead back with 400 watts. @45 feet.
Made some really cool contacts on that antenna!!!! (Greenland and Iceland) plus many more
PS: should note this 6 "L" has worked many more ("Euro's)/Africa etc. but the LFA/5 did a REAL nice job...Very light (like 10 lbs.) so adds squat to tower/rotor/mast loads.
Remember 6 meter antennas are about an 11 meter / HALF scale antenna.
All the Best
