Roger, In hopes of answering your original question, I got my hands on a DB212-2 originally on 37.7MHz and shortened the antennas and matching section for 6? meters. The 35 ohm matching section (Decibel Products VB-83 cable) was shortened? to 36.25" end to end. With a UHF T on the end? and two 50 ohm loads attached resulted in the attached plot. As you can see, the? exact length is not critical across the band.

John, You mentioned "DB factory lengths" in an earlier post. Do you have access to the? actual factory length chart for 6M ? If so, please share.

Mike,
How well did the tuning of your antenna on the ground translate to mounting on a tower? What length of pipe did you use when tuning?
