6M6LN, 50.0-50.7 MHz

The 6M6LN is M2 Antenna Systems’ newest 6M Yagi.  The design requirements for this antenna were low noise and wide bandwidth.  With the current trend up in frequency for FT8 and other digital modes, many antennas have a higher VSWR at the current activity centers.  The 6M6LN has all side and rear lobes suppressed at least 26dB**, and most of the very clean rear pattern is suppressed even more than that.  The 6M6LN is made with the same M2 Quality as all of our products and uses no hose clamps or unsealed feed points.  It is also a great building block for a two or four Yagi array, with a stacking distance similar to our 6M5XHP.  The boom length is a manageable 24’ long.
