i don't know much about that antenna,...... does it have an electrical (not rf) ground?
That certainly is unique... I like it!
. . .
Is it easy to lower, enough to try the 5/8(23' .64?)?
I kinda want to build one of these now! Not sure what I'd put on it, but it looks like a good design.
Only thing I'd comment on, is advise running some copper strap from the mast, to a copper rod at the bottom, to act as both an electrical and RF ground.
Georgia Copper - COPPER GROUND STRAP for GROUNDING AND BONDING
Think I would use some 10 ga house wire down its length and save a lot of money. Two/three strands. Copper strapping isn't as cheap as wire is.

Better than mines Homer. Door hinge and a weed whacker handle
Nice one Homer, You got me thinking here. I got an Idea, probably gonna modify my lay over gadjet.
Yes. Very easy. No strain, great gain
When I get it laid over (hopefully this evening) I'll photograph the hoisting mechanism for ya.
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare |

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
