K5USS 6 Meter Hentenna Project

The K5USS 6 Meter Hentenna Project page on Hamuniverse provides detailed instructions on how to build a 6 meter directional antenna with 3.5 dBd gain. The project is presented with permission from K5USS, Charlie of Richardson, Texas. This directional antenna is a full wave loop on 6 meters, horizontally polarized but mounted vertically, with a 50 ohm impedance, ideal for 6 meter SSB operations. The page is useful for hams looking to construct their own directional antenna for improved performance on the 6 meter band.
