Some of us here in OZ used Channel 0 TV antennae for the 6 metre band.
Australian Channel 0 top band edge was around 51 mHz so the antenna
required very little modification. It was only a matter of shorting out a
V shaped aluminium transformer in the centre of the driven element and we
were on 6. I also still have a Channel 4A TV antenna here which was
designed for OZ ch. 4A which was alongside the 144mHz amateur band. They
were also easy to modify. Thankfully I think both of those TV channels
have now been closed, or are about to be dispensed with altogether. They
were a nuisance to amateurs in this country. Most country towns in my neck
of the woods now have TV channels on UHF.
