Good, low-cost 6m base antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I picked this inexpensive and lightweight antenna up a few years ago to quickly get on 6 meters in time for the E-skip season. The antenna consists of a 'Hamstick' fiberglass loaded whip, with a moveable (tuneable) steel whip coming out the top part so you can adjust resonance/SWR, and 3 radials. I have since changed my 6m base antenna, and have gone horizontal, but kept this one for portable useage. I recall working many grids with the 'Hamstick' groundplane, and it served me well.
