AGREED !!

if you need a babysitter to hold your hand to tell you when youre nearing the end of you plan, then hooray! this is what you have been waiting for, for all these years !!! if you fall under the category of a typical, responsible human being, then this will be nothing that concerns you

Im almost certain I will go with the 102" or even a piece of emt conduit as the antenna. i am going to home brew a tripod that the 102" whip or the conduit will sit on. im thinking of making the feed point about 3 feet above the roof line. the next step was the radials. is there a...

i do NOT want the dipole laying flat on the roof. my goal was to have it at least 2 feet ABOVE the roof. but still there is a good chance snow could cover it up at 2 feet.

im on the fence with this one. im thinking of moving my dipole from my fence in the back yard (7 feet) to the top of my roof. ( 20 ish feet) probably will keep the dipole horizontal for concealment reasons, and also for DX reasons. BUT, im also thinking that maybe it would be just...

im almost certain that i will try it horizontally at first, and just see how it goes. i can always change it later if i want to. did i mention this will be on a flat roof ? anywho, it will be... one of my concerns will be snow. i get plenty of snow here in my area, and wondering if i dont...

well, i have very little local talk here... BUT, i live very close to 2 major interstates. i wouldn't mind being able to give local directions. BUT ... i think id rather talk DX than talk to the local traffic.

so lets say all things being equal. dipole mounted horizontal dipole mounted as an inverted "V" dipole mounted with one leg up as an "L" which one wins for local talk? which one wins for DX talk? which one wins for a compromise between the 3? also, which one would benefit the most...

got nothing here on that freq

I just purchased that. Are you saying that wasnt a good deal ? ?

i purchased one of these power supplies, and two thumbs up !! Tried it on multiple radios and a few different amps. Nothing negative to post. No noise introduced what so ever. I have powered radios with zero issues to small amps with no problems. I would recommend this power...

cant answer that fairly. a 4 watt radio into a nice big beam would sure do better than 4000 watts into a coat hanger. just saying. but all things being equal.... as mentioned before, i like me the Yaesu 101e. i cant remember what my local paired with it, might have been a Heil...

nice find man ! i get lucky once in a while, but never that lucky.

Now how much power are we talking about here ? Lets say two identical vehicles with identical setups are driving side by side on the interstate. How much power would one need to doing to "damage" the other fellows radio ?

You by chance remember who you spoke with in Utah?

yep :) hey, i aint one to complain. i found your obsession between you and him hilarious !! plenty of laughs here, no lies.

lmao, beat a dead horse? youre one to talk huh? seems to me youre the one who had a :wub:crush:wub: on fast4socal, and couldnt leave him alone for more than 8 seconds.

me ?? im just a forum troll, who is wondering where fast4socal is. cause thats where the true forum entertainment is.

idk if its the camera angle or what ... BUT.. the angles of your ends seem to be very different. me personally, id do one of three things: totally horizontal. OR totally vertical. OR an inverted "V" ( basically 45 degrees slopping at either end) do any of the following, and tell us...

i want to see your honest answer :whistle:
