My 3 element gamma-fed yagi crashed about a year ago. I hadn't done anything with it, and its mangled carcass has been lurking behind the shed. Recently my club built a cage dipole for 40m, which got me thinking. Why couldn't I just make a cage or parallel dipole for 6 meters? It should work.
So over lunch I took the old antenna apart, and tossed the broken pieces. There were enough good parts to make my experimental parallel dipole.
The pieces I had left over were just a tad short, so it does cover the whole band at 1.5:1 at top of the band, with the ideal resonance somewhere around 51Mhz.
