Steve, I'm having trouble separating the coax feeder from the 6m quad driven element.
I visited your site to see what info there was on air wound chokes but your page only deals up to 30mhz. Is an air-wound choke feasible at 50mhz?
Sure - it's feasible; it's just that air-cored chokes are so High-Q that you only have to change the winding diameter a small amount, or add an extra turn, and the thing no longer has high impedance where you want it. In fact, the only reason I included any on my chart was to demonstrate how narrow band they are!
All that said, 4 turns of Rg213-size on a 4" diameter should be about right for 6m.
