I just got my s9v 31 put up and was wondering if anyone would wanna help me try it out tuesday evening. I will try to be on between 6-10p central time. My call is KC9OZA
got the antenna all set up. I have around 36 radials put a choke in the coax, when i went to try it out last night there are stations that are seem to be booming in, but when i try to call for them no answers.
Would this be from having around 120ft of coax? can have around 95 if take choke out...
well id say thats what my problem is. its stood off my tower around 2ft to the side and the bottom is only about 1ft off the ground. I can hear stations pretty good with it. but never seem to hear me. Maybe will be buying a vertical and put up since is easier than puting up a dipole.
i would like to build one. but idk if pvc would stay up without guying. I have a g5rv antenna now, but the bottom is only about 1ft off the ground, just doesnt seem to do all that good, maybe just conditions here. just thought of trying something different.
alright. Just cant decide if wanna buy the s9v 31 of try to find a fiberglass pole and put my own wire in it or try to make one out of some pvc. oh the decessions:confused:
Hello everyone. Im thinking of purchasing the s9v 31 ft antenna. Had a few questions. What size wire should i use for the radials? and when you guys strech them out about your yard, when you go to mow, do you leave them down and hope you dont mow them or do you roll them up, then unroll again...
