Now that we have disclosed what radios we have what type of antenna is hanging on the back of them to get that precious signal out there and at what height is it mounted?
Base:
At 30ft. above the garage on a tilt over tower a "Station Master" 11 Metres 1/2 wave vertical omni-directional with 50ft of Belden 9913 feed line
At 40ft. on a crank up self supporting mast:
a MFJ G5RV for all band HF
a Diamond X510 for HAM UHF and VHF
At 12ft. a magnet mount on the iron roof of the house for 2 Metres APRS/UI View
Mobile:All at 5ft.
Navman: satelite mushroom for APRS
Diamond NR 770: VHF/UHF
Wilson 1000:tuned for the low end of 26Mhz.
Fortex Stealth: an extra large "bugcatcher"for 160M to 10M
Best of DX to all! |

I used to know a guy in McMillan Mi.that had several antennas on top of a tower just like MrRF's except his bottom was a 2 element beam for 80 meters,my gawd,the boom sagged badly and it had to be 40 or 60 feet long,biggest 2 element I ever seed. |
