The easiest antenna to build for six meters

Thanks to Hayden (VK7DG) for this ultra-simple 6 meter antenna made from RG-58 coaxial cable.  All you need are a few simple tools and a convenient length of RG-58 coax from your "junk box."

Here are some comment from Hayden:

This is a really simple and easy to construct antenna that will get you on the air on the six meter band using only RG-58 coax! I needed a quick and simple antenna for my WSPR beacon over the summer season. Enter the coaxial dipole or aka flowerpot antenna!
