Picture of my Six Meter 40 element home brew "H Array Beam". The booms are 40 feet long. Stacking is 1/2 wavelength high, (vertical),
1 wavelength apart, (horizontal).

They are feed with homebrew open wire line and 300 ohm feed line. Forward gain is about 20 to 25 db. Front to back ratio is 25 to 1. The beam width is about 14 deges at the widest point.

The antenna raises and lowers on a 4 inch I beam with a 110 volt ac reverserable motor and gear box.

The antenna rotates through 360 degrees.

The elevation here is slightly short of 1,000 ft. Visibility is about 30 miles.
