QRN what type of feed are you using on your homebrew 6 element?
Jonbah
I am using a Beta match also called a hairpin match with a 4:1 coaxial balun made from Belden 8214 coax cable.I tried a gamma match but was frustrated with getting the dimensions correct.The beta match worked first time and only required a slight tweaking of the element length.
