Any other ideas on SOTA-feasible 6 meters directional setup?

I was also going to suggest a Moxon. I haven’t used one, but there is a nice description in this thread.

I have one of these:
While not collapsible like your HB9CV design, it does come apart and re-assembles quickly and easily. The other part of a VHF antenna that has to be considered is a suppotying rotatable mast. I have a “caravan mast” for my 6m Moxon.
Since moving to Germany however this portable set-up has sat in the cellar as portable operation on 6 metres is illegal in Germany.

I have used this design in the past, the 2m of conduit can be replaced with a couple of fibre glass rods and a joiner plus some sticky tape. With it being mostly wire it all coils up to be portable.

The Hentenna is another simple yet effective homebrew design:

Herbert OE9HRV has made some beautiful Hentennas and had great results from them.
I have done similar, however mine is apex up and fed at corner of bottom. Instead of conduit I used a wood dowel. Light enough to be supported by a telescopic pole with apex at 30 ft. No harder to make/install than a dipole and more effective.
