[WVDXA] 6 M Signals on the Mobile

[Greg Lee]

CHARLIE,
on most screwdriver antennas there is a sweet spot for six meters, somewhere between 10 and 15 meters.....Think it makes a 3/4 wave antenna on six......you might try yours......my screwdriver works on six that way........Greg, W8GG

All the discussion about 6 meters provoked me to go listen on the mobile about 1215.  My mobile screwdriver ant has a whip section that is too long for 6M but could likely use the tuner and get it to load.  Didn't try it, only listened.
 
I could hear C6AFP/B about 579 and pretty solid.  Heard another beacon but did not try very hard to get the call, it was in and out.  Heard K8OOK (loud) calling someone on CW at about 50.103.  Heard a WB9 who was about 559 work the station on 103. 
 
This could get interesting!
