![Dipole antenna for 6 meter / 50 MHz [high power]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/a3ohOUt08p8/mqdefault.jpg "Dipole antenna for 6 meter / 50 MHz [high power]
I made a simple dipole for 6 meter // 50.1 MHz. A high power balun [ 3 kW ] is added to adjust the 75 Ohm to 50 Ohm.
I used a extra aluminium rod inside the antenna to adjust the length. So I can change the length from 1 meter to 1 meter 50 and cover the complete 6 meterband.
All the parts [ rods, clamps, bolts ] are aluminium, stainless steel or rubber/plastic so no problem with the weather.
