FEATURES
The 6M5X is the latest computer optimized version of our
popular 6M5. The 6M5X is two feet longer but front to back and
gain are noticeably improved. We just made a good thing better
maintaining low wind load and great performance for its size. It
will compliment the rest of your antenna system and not
overload your tower. Quick and easy to assemble, it is also
great for mountain topping, grid expeditions and DXpeditions.
The 6M5X features the same machined aluminum element
mounting blocks, and sealed “T” match block,that all M

‘s use.
The 6M5X is perfect for the Ham trying 6 meters for the first time
or the seasoned vet who may stack them for lower angle of radiation or even some EME use. A tuning chart is included
in the manual for the FM band. An upgrade kit is offered for older 6M5’s.
