A thoroughly fascinating, informative video from Chris (K2CJB) on how to build and install a 6 meter "Squalo" Antenna.  The squalo antenna was a popular 2 meter mobile antenna for those using SSB on the 2 meter amateur radio band.  Chris has done a fine job of adapting the original design of Ernest Neijenhuis (PA3HCM) to this project. For detailed plans on this antennas, please visit Ernest's website at http://www.pa3hcm.nl/?p=312. The squalo antenna would be perfect 6 meter antenna for those living on a small urban lot.

Another 6 meter antenna you may find useful during the E-Skip openings this summer is the classic "squalo" antenna.  This antenna was once popular for mobile operations and for areas with limited antenna space. Chris (K2CJB) does an excellent job of taking you through the design, construction, tuning, and use of this somewhat unusual antenna.  The antenna is sturdy, portable, and suitable for both home and field use.  Why not build one for the upcoming North American VHF Contest or the June ARRL Field Day emergency communications exercise?
