Model No: 6M5XHP
FEATURES:
The 6M5XHP is the latest computer optimized version of our popular 6M5X. The 6M5XHP has been re-designed
to use a hairpin type direct feed. We just made a good thing better, maintaining a low wind load and great performance
for its size. The 6M5XHP will compliment the rest of your antenna system and not overload your tower. The 6M5XHP is
perfect for the Ham trying 6 meters for the first time or the seasoned vet who may stack them for lower angle of radiation
or even some EME use.
SPECIFICATIONS:
*Subtract 2.14 from dBi for dBd / FS = Free Space / ** H = High / W = Wide
