    Anyone using arrestors?

    That's just it Robb, I wont be able to remove the coax from the house. I don't mind having to go outside and removing a couple of connections from within a remote box and isolating them (the ones that do lead inside) away from the tower. The tower itself with be right beside the house as well so...

    Anyone using arrestors?

    with reading some of the conversations lately re: lightning protection i'm wondering if anyone has gone the extra step of adding arrestors inline on their coax?

    height gap between vert and horizontal?

    ya i was worried about the angle of radiation effects on the horizontal Robb if they were too close together. Much appreciate the feedback. Looking at the bag o' popcorn i'm guessing some contradicting opinions might be expected? lol

    height gap between vert and horizontal?

    considering getting a tower up before the weather rally goes cold... is there a recommended height gap i should use between an A99 with the ground plane kit and a horizontal (thinking about a Maco 3 element on a rotor)? doing 30 ft of tower w/ a 10ft mast...or a 40 ft tower, have to see what...

    Ham...

    mini-RANT nothing against the users at all...would love to get up into the frequencies myself. I guess my issue is with "the system".

    D-104 Diamond eagle

    from what i've been able to dig up i'm reading it was 20k...also read somewhere that the head was gold and the bottom was brass?? haven't been able to find anything "official" tho...there's gotta be some way of getting it checked out? aren't jewellers good at that kinda thing?
