I'm New sorry if this is not the approiatee place for this post please move if it is not. I Did not see an antenna theroy subject
Why do some Broadcast stations like My local one WCRZ Cars 108 out of Flint, MI.
1.) Why do they Use more then one tower?
2.)Is it to get directional coverage...
What would happen if you mounted a Vertical Omni-Directional Antenna in a Horizonal fashion? I.E. Paralell to the ground and Co-Phased it with a Vertically Mounted one?
Hummm?????? Anybody care to test this one??? he he he????
NO I come from a FAMILY of Truckers....... That's how the name came about... :pop: :confused1:
MY Mom's a Trucker, My Dad's a Trucker, My Uncle on my Dad's Side is a Trucker.....
Nobody is telling me I come from a family of Truckers and I just thought Dual Base antennas like Co-Phased Maco V5000's would make a statement....ROFL.... But didn't know if it would be practical... Refer to Post # 19 for my Map distances are in my quote in that post.
Would Mounting an Ol'' Moon Raker Vertically pointing straight up in the air
give me more range than a regular omni-directional antenna.
Or would I be better off with the Maco V-5000?
What effect would being vertical have on the moon-raker???
it may be good for skip.... rolling on floor...
the colons represent the e-ways the hypons are my road...
I May do better with an antenna switch...
Maco V5000 on each side of my ranch home
my house in the middle.

Shakesphere 176-1 VS. Antron-99
Now for the choice...
Shakesphere 176-1 VS. Antron-99
I've also considered the Maco V-5000
Which of the 3 is best for my circumstances???
one e-way is 3.6 miles from my house and one e-way is 7.8 miles from my house.
The E-ways make a circle around my base...
My main goal is to be able to talk to truckers going down 3 OR 4 express-ways around my house. one e-way is 3.6 miles from my house and one e-way is 7.8 miles from my house.
What effect would Running Dual Antron-99's have?
Example one on each side of my ranch home?
So they would be way more...
