Thanks for all the discussion.
I do appreciate the suggestions of the different

Diamond or Comet (in that order)

I'd still go with 1/2 just for the sake of longevity. Surely someone local

Oh lets see at 6meters the antenna is only 51 feet
long, 10 feet wide and 8 foot deep. The ten meter
version is 64'x14'x12' and 155lbs. The one taking up
space in my garage is only 16'x4'x3' 45lbs as it is
the little factory ham cut 2 meter db-215.
