Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):
The 6m Band is often known as the "Magic Band" because it offers unpredictable surprises for Ham operators all ver the world. It can be dead for days and then open up for long distance contacts. It's full of fun one day and frustration the next. But, here is a handy antenna that is low cost and may enable you to enjoy the fun on a budget. .
I omitted to mention the adjustable beehive capacitor that helps with matching adjustment. See close up in video.
