You can use 3/8" aluminum rod and thread one end with a 3/8"-24 die and then use standard 3/8-24 antenna connectors. Also, 1/4 wavelength on 6m is close to 3/4 wavelength on 2m so it's possible to get two bands for one depending what frequencies you want to work

I just brought a Hy-Gain multi-band Yagi antenna. My big complaint is the instructions look like a 5th-generation photocopy. I decided to download my own version. They have obviously scanned the instructions from a poor-quality original. The file you download is such poor quality I can't even read the figures is that length 1699 mm or 1888 mm. you can't make it out. Really for such an expensive antenna the instructions are something I would expect from China.
The Comet CX333 tri-bander does 2m, 220, & 440 for about $175. I have a Tram on the roof that does the same thing for less than half that.

Thank you. Am working on a 6M antenna.

Thanks Dave for the video and product information. Built something similar years ago and worked quite well. 73, AC3HT

I used 3/8s, 24 threaded rods that worked just fine and easy if needs adjustment.
Hi Dave , I have metal roofing . I have a 7 ft tower on the peak. Would it be ok to put a dipole antenna on top of it ? Thankyou for your time

Drawing diagrams isn’t your forte Dave but I enjoy the vids!🤣
Dave's drawings are awesome! 73.
Lesser perfect people like myself understand Dave’s drawings. We’re not all super intelligent rocket scientists 😂
DB is not gain, it is BS: dBi, dBd, those are terms of fact. Dave, that is why I can not watch your shows. Come on man.
