Default Re: 6 metre 4 pole filter

Starts getting a bit big on 6 metres... about 1 metre long each assuming 69% velocity factor for PTFE dielectric 'semi-rigid coax'

But quarter-lambda lines are rather useful for narrowband filters. For 70MHz in a small space, helical resonators are a good possibility. You can get SAW filters covering various ranges around that frequency... see Golledge's website. But the insertion loss of SAWs can be off-putting.
