Just a thought on rg6 - my rx cable from my 2m Kuhne preamp is rg6 , a 28m length as tower is 22m high . this has been in service for more than 10 yrs with no problems. I used rg6 to achieve some attenuation from the Kuhne , I have good results on 2m dx and dont use the preamp in my k3 to keep noise...

Referring to my site plan provided by the Qld government my street runs E-W so I use that as reference ( true Nth)
tnx Cro

hi Peter , I agree they are a great brick on 144 , and 70cm as well , more needed to put on air.

hi. vk4wie club has an ATN 6m log periodic unassembled amongst a lot of other antenna parts
Is there anyone out there with a assembly diagram or manual for this antenna as we would like to rebirth it

I used one with my K3 and was impressed with rx
