Antenna Painting ?


I was thinking about doing some spray can camo painting of a tree top mounted antenna, I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea, could this hurt the signal any :confused:

Please, Paint Away!, and...............

IMO Plasti-Dip is a better alternative to paint. It will hold up better to inclimate weather and UV, and if the antenna is fiberglass it will help to prevent it from splitting over time.

If anything it might take noise out of your receive. I use shrink tubing to cover all my homebrew antennas, and the plastic helps eliminate static from my receive.

  • @ Hambones amps:
    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
