I am looking for opinions and help trying to set up a base antenna. I have only had mobile setups.
I am thinking I want to either get an Antron 99 or a Maco v58. The way I want to mount it would be on a push up mast (like a rohn h50) and bracket it to the eve of my house. The eve is about 20’ from the ground. Would this work? Any recommendation on what bracket to use?
My next question is about grounding. Is it sufficient to put a ground rod in the ground by the base of the antenna to ground it to? The main ground rod for my house is on the opposite side of the house. I could run a ground wire to that but it would probably be 60-80 ft long. Not sure what to do. I don’t know a lot about it honestly.
Unfortunately a tower is not an option.
Thanks for your help.
