I modeled the antenna as well, I mounted it 36 feet up because, well, that is where I mount most of my antennas... Like Eddie's my model has no matching system, but the rest of the description is as stated in CK's image. AGT comes out to a 1.0, which is perfect.

Here is the gain and front to back and rear numbers over the 6 meter frequency range...

That drop in gain at 53 MHz, changing the driven element length does not change that frequency much, so I would put forth that if you want to use the upper portion of the band you would also have to adjust at least some if not all of the element lengths...

[QUOTE="The DB, post: 556625, member: 21346"] I modeled the antenna as well, I mounted it 36 feet up because, well, that is where I mount most of my antennas... Like Eddie's my model has no matching system, but the rest of the description is as stated in CK's image. AGT comes out to a 1.0, which is perfect.
