6M, 'THE MAGIC BAND'.

My 5 element 6m yagi 

My 6m antenna is a Cushcraft A505S 5 element beam.

The boom is 12 foot (3.7 metres).

The longest element is 312 cm.

My first ever 6m contact at home

My first ever contact on 6m from home was on 14th December 2017 with Greg VK2GJC at Ulladulla in New South Wales.  I was only 5/1.  But we worked the following day, when conditions were better and we were both 5/9.
