That will be very difficult using LMR-400... It is very stiff.

NO! Its only about 8' tall or so with the resonator.

Hey guys(and gals), I am in need of some more advice... I am installing my Solarcon(hopefully) soon, and do not want my neighbors, or my wife, to get upset with bleeding. I have heard that IF I wrap coax around a two liter bottle about 4 or 5 times, 4' below the antenna connection, with a GP...

OK, Here are better, and closer pics to help in the indentification. 1st pic is of course the loaded antenna. It has no markings, at all. 2nd pic is of the bottom of solid aluminum antenna. 3/8" stud. 3rd pic is of the connection between the bottom(approx 3'), and the top(approx 2')...

Yeah, I usually go head first, and brain later. If at all. I told him that I was putting an antenna up. He asked about his TV. I told him that if he had a problem, or heard me, he could either call me, or come over, and I would stop immediately. I try to be as considerate as possible, and...

My mom got these two pieces of antenna at a flea market. They were attached, as one antenna. Another WWDX member has said that he was pretty sure that they were two different antennas. He said that the bigger, two piece, was the bottom of an old StarDuster base antenna, and the other one he...

Let me clarify. LOL They are 12 4ft sections of FG mast. You lose 3.5" on each connection, so the total is 45'. 2 4ft sections was $13 cheaper than buying the 12 4ft sections. And, I got a FREE carrying bag.

OK, I got it. I really only ordered the 45.5' of mast because of the price. It was $13 more shipped than just the 2. I figured if I got the antenna just above the roof line, or slightly higher, I would be good. This way sounds a lot more secure. I do have a neighbor on that side, and if anything...

If you figure that each floor is 10ft, and then the peak, prob about 25-26ft.

I too, am renting. But for what I pay, as long as when its removed I patch holes for leaks, he doesn't care. The only problem with using the mast all the way to the ground is, its the side of the house. Its all garden! Really soft dirt. What would you suggest I use to avoid the soft dirt...

Thanks for the input ROBB. I only planned on using 2, maybe 3 of the masts. I was assuming that all of that vertical force was not intended on that DishNet J-Arm. As far as electric wires, luckily I live in a neighborhood where the wires are ALL underground.:thumbup: Which makes it great for...

Please do not laugh! :pop: I am not an artist, and it was a rush job.

I hope this helps. I haven't installed it yet, so I can't give you an installed shot.

I am awaiting a Solarcon Base antenna,:headbang so I can get my base up and running on 11M band. I am setting up in my basement, and planning on putting the Solarcon on the peak, via a DirecTV/DishNetwork J-Arm(with the support struts), and 4ft fiberglass masts. Not sure how many masts yet, as I...

I need an Antron 99, preferably with the GP kit. I have a few things to trade. I also need some decent coax cable too. Haven't measured, so I am not sure how much yet. I live in Maryland, near Washington D.C., so if you are close, we can meet in person. If not, we can negotiate over phone...
