Aircraft scatter is easily seen on the spectrogram window of digital communication apps, when you know what to look for. Examples of real aircraft scatter usage on six meters band

The Waterway Net, sponsored by the Waterway Radio and Cruising Club, is dedicated to enhancing amateur radio communications for recreational boaters. Meeting daily at 0745 ET on 7.268 MHz LSB, the net focuses on safety and weather updates, providing a vital link for live-aboards and cruising boats to stay connected with families and friends. Position Reports and Float Plans are essential components that ensure safety for offshore passage makers. Established in the early sixties, the Waterway Net is one of the longest-running nets in amateur radio history. Open to all amateur radio operators with a General class license or higher, it encourages participation without requiring WRCC membership. Newcomers are advised to listen initially to understand net procedures before checking in. In emergencies, FCC regulations allow anyone, licensed or not, to use any frequency to call for help, with the 20-meter frequency of 14.300 MHz available for emergency assistance approximately eighteen hours a day.

A j-pole antenna plan with drawings and dimensions that can help you on building your own j-pole antenna for the six meters band

NA4RR manufacture a six band hexagonal beam antenna for ham radio, covering 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, and 20 meter.

Bring the six meters with you during your hoilidays. This article features a portable moxon antenna for 50 MHz used for sota portable operatios

This antenna is designed for 40, 80 and 160 meters to complement a tri-band beam normally taken on DX peditions for 10, 15 and 20 meters, so six bands can be worked with only two antennas.

In this article the author describes his personal experience on some antennas for 50 MHz he tested on the field, the six meter Dipole, Vertical, Moxon, a 3 element Yagi and an Omniangle antenna.

This six element LFA Yagi for six meters has a 1.5 inch square boom with a 1.5 inch secondary boom beneath the first. This ensures the 7.3 metre long boom will not sag and will not require any guying. This antenna has 12.3 dBi Gain and just over 23dB F/B.

A 14.12 dBi gain three elements cubical quad antenna for the six meters band. This Quad Antenna design page include a MMA model available to download and dimensions for each element.

A 4 element Yagi Antenna for six meters band

This article details a ham radio operator’s experience setting up HF antennas in an antenna-restricted community. Initially using an AEA Isoloop magnetic loop for QRP PSK, the author later built an attic antenna system, including dipoles for multiple HF bands and a slinky dipole for 40 meters. The setup allowed for operation on six bands with acceptable VSWR. Despite space constraints and some compromises, performance was effective. The article highlights practical strategies, emphasizing experimentation and antenna modeling for optimizing performance in limited-space environments. A valuable guide for ham radio operators facing similar restrictions.

Explore the design and testing of a cage dipole antenna for 6 meters. Through innovative construction, witness a remarkable 77% increase in bandwidth and improved impedance characteristics.

A project for a six meters Yagi beam antenna, built mainly for portable operations. This is a 4 element Yagi beam with a 4 meters boom.
