Was a VERY Bizzy day today putting up antennas.
First was a Mosley 6 element triband with a R7 on top of it
Second was a Sigma 4 ! on a 45 ft pole.
VERY warm day 100+ was real interesting with winds up to 25mph+ But got the jobs done, Started @ 6am done @ 5pm ARG
I went to a SK estate auction the other day and got ahold of a 6 meter 6 element 34' boom CushCraft antenna.
This thing is a MONSTER
It has a "T" match set up, the reflector is 117" and the driven element is 114". 60" from the reflector to the driven element. I'll be darned if I can...
Well my Antenna farm is getting larger :thumbup:
Just added stacked Cushcraft 215's @ about 35 ft. (one real 215 and a home made copy of) So far so good for repeater work, Gained a couple DB on the local repeater for recieve that is like 45 miles away. Hit the Kingman repeater that is 130...

Ok all the antenna guru's here... I have a question,
I want to put my R7 above my 5 element tri band,
How far apart should the 2 antennas be from each other?
Keep in mind I maybe full QRO at times if that plays a factor in it.
Any and all input is welcome Thnx in advance
I picked up a Yaesu VX5R . Tell you they are a bear to program, But that isnt the subject here.
I also got a 30 watt VHF amp to go mobile with and run the HT in front of it. Yes I know the 5 watts will hit most of the repeaters in a city setting. But I live in a rural area and the Xtra 25...
