Ok I'll go back to a 10k then just thought that might help that is where the top came apart the radials were twested up so just scraped what was left could have been a small twester they were poping up in places.

Looks like the web site is down too.

Sound like it's working great for you I'm going to start on mine soon.

Yes sir a 10k best I have owned but broke during hurricanes one after another moved down to the ground post still broke. Most of it might be in the bay somewhere I was thinking of the 25k for the heavy duty insulator but it will have to wait other repairs come first. Since he already had a wolf...

They call it a ground plane kit but I think it acts like a capacitance hat just at the bottom. I used the 3 element version don't remember who made it years ago on dual 4ft mirror mounts on the big truck seamed to help didn't run any scientific test but could hear better and talk to Cal from Fl...

What kind of coax and length, are you running a matching section? Sounds like you got it hooked up right looking to do the same something cheap.

Now that is what I call real home brew. Brings back memories of the germanium diode.

O yes a set of beams and a wolf now your talking get a set with horizontal & vertical elements wire them in circular polarization when you hear some one way off in the background on the wolf turn the beams on and bounce off the moon and talk to people on the other side of the planet the good old...

It's all good, done that, did it, been there, oops still doing it... :lol:

32ft up, 1/4 wave ground plane, 55 miles to repeater sounds like you hit the gold mind great work now pat yourself on the back and get back on the air and have fun. Thanks for all of the info everyone.

First off BOOTY MONSTER just a little misunderstanding interceptor=base predator=mobile as for 10k and enforcer comes in mobile or .64 base, From what I see there would be little difference since all are the same as for antenna mass (length) just different physical matching system same theory...

Great news know you'll be up all night. How high do you have it? Sound like it is working great for you.

Anyone play with these 2m Loops?

Isn't a 1/4 wave ground plane the same as a 1/2 wave dipole just with the ground element at an angle for impedance matching? If a dipole is two 1/4 wave elements center fed with coax running off at 90 degrees and a ground plane is two 1/4 wave elements center fed with coax running parallel with...

If a 1/4 wave has 50ohm with the radials down at 45 degrees if you lengthen both the radiator and radials to 5/8 wave will the impedance change too if so sounds like an antenna analyzer is the way to go.

Pro 710 OOPS President 177

I'll settle for the beer and girls be right over... LOL

Is that a half wave dipole two 1/4 wave elements I was thinking of a full wave dipole two 1/2 wave elements made out of c o p p e r rod for top and tube for bottom and put a small flag on top

Th FCC part 95 has or had a section on antennas can't be restricted by housing associations or local government. Can't seem to find it will look for it they might have taken it out but some one around her called them and the FCC sent the group an official letter head and they were allowed to put...

Mobile came first a 23 channel Lafayette don't remember model cheapest model they had volume squelch channel knobs no extras two 102" whips on the outside of the rear bumper dually pickup so wide enough I guess RS co phased coax harness swr like what was that. Base was a Montgomery Wards base...
