Hello,

Thanks for stopping by to read my post. I'm looking for a triband vertical that covers 6/2/440. I just moved into my first ever house and now the search begins. Please let me know what you have.

73,

I don't operate 6m FM. I only have 6m AM right now and this would be horizontal.

I operate 2m, 1.25m, and 70cm on FM. I use a discone that I purchased over the InterNet for $28. It has the performance of a 1/4 wave vertical on each band. You can use it on 33cm and maybe 23cm as well.

There is a discone type of antenna with a 6m resonator that will permit operation on 6m as well. This antenna costs about twice what my antenna cost me.

6m AM/CW/SSB work is almost always horizontal. This will require a dipole type of antenna or, even better, a Yagi/Uda array of some type.

Good Luck...
