Most
of the smallest stations contacted have used 5 element beams,
although W7GJ has completed with ES2RJ (who was only using a 4 element
beam and 300w). I also completed with EA8/G8BCG who was using a
6M7JHV yagi and 100w (but he had a large amount of experience,
excellent ground gain and practically no feedline loss). You
don't need
a huge antenna to complete at least a few 6m EME contacts! More
important is a good, dedicated 6m antenna with a clear area around the
antenna for good ground gain (looking out over the ocean is
BEST!). I hope you get some good ideas from
these photos and I can include YOUR antenna here
soon! Good luck!
