Here is the pictures of the 6mtr 6 element beam that I got.  It had a broken boom and 4 broken elements.  Some friends help by donating  the aluminium to fix the elements and I found some tubing to fix the boom.  I am having some problems getting the T match to work correctly.  What is correctly with out the instructions??  I got the swr down to a 2:1 in the center freq. but never any lower.

The fix - I segmented the cross tubing in one inch segments and moved the shorting straps towards the feed point and got a 1:1 swr at 17 inches from the ends of the cross tubing with a center frequency of 50.600  I'm in business now.

I found that MFJ bought out Hy-gain. I went to the hy-gain site and asked for a manual to restore this beam and they mailed one free of charge.  The antenna is in the air and work great.  You can see it at http://www.qsl.net/n5tbs/n5tbs.htm
