6 METER Beam HELP

[Wiskey Delta-40]

I went to a SK estate auction the other day and got ahold of a 6 meter 6 element 34' boom CushCraft antenna.

This thing is a MONSTER

It has a "T" match set up, the reflector is 117" and the driven element is 114". 60" from the reflector to the driven element. I'll be darned if I can ANYTHING about it on the net with a 34 foot boom, All I find is a 12 and 20 foot booms once I start getting into the 30 foot range they jump to 7 elements any HELP on this would be GREAT a manual would be better. Thnx all

I am 99% sure it is a Cushcraft 617-B6 Boomer from the late 70's early 80's era. Still looking for a link to a manual.

Best yet its FREE.

From the dimensions I think it is it @ 14 DB gain this antenna may just work for me.. Hopefully by time I get tower up properly that the cycle is not gone for this band,

So far only a few reviews I have read :blink:

The antenna is in GREAT condition almost like it just came out of the box

Think I am starting a collection of CushCraft "Boomer" antenna Farm here.. With the stacked 215B's and a third 215 waiting I already have.

Well I'll be damned. I searched all over and came up empty. The old cushcraft site had a ton of manuals on it but was taken down after MFJ bought them from Laird technologies. Glad you found one.

Has anyone had this antenna in the air yet? and how does it work?
