FEATURES:
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 high-
er VSWR at the current activity centers. The 6M6LN was designed with this in mind. The 6M6LN was optimized for low
noise in both the E and H planes, providing a low, total noise pattern. 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 Ya-
gi array, with a stacking distance similar to our 6M5XHP. The boom length is a manageable 24 feet long.
