    Which base antenna for stupidly windy area?

    Consider a SS 102' (Radio Shack), with a HD SS spring (Firestik), and a HD mount. Attached to a pole slightly above roof line. It will work local and DX.

    wow Imax 2000

    I have an A99 and a couple of dipoles. The SWR on my A99 is flat on 10 and 11 meters, but 12, 15 and 17 are 4's and 5's. This is using the internal meter and an external meter measured on AM, not SSB.

    MURS

    We have a small farm and use MURS on our commercial HT's. My YL and I both have our general licenses. Less people listening on MURS. Channels 1-2-3 have no commercial traffic. Channels 4-5 are old business channels that have been grandfathered-in. 73

The technician at Bells has recommended a Low Pass Filter. My set-up is as follows: a new A-99 antenna 8' above my house, 27' of Belden RG8X cable, a new...
