Not much DX in the last week or so over here.

How do you have Jays Ant mounted? Like how high, any trees around
etc...



It's about 37' to the base of it. I'm surrounded by big trees here man,
my beam antenna is 75 feet away from Jay's antenna, and it is
surrounded by big trees too. Don't let the trees stop you from trying
it.

Smaller plot than you and I have 60'+ oaks n maples all around. Got a
40' tower but what a bitch its gonna be mounting the JoGunn monster on
that with the limited space. I'll have a beer and think about it...


Is the tower hinged for easy access, or maybe not? Is it a one shot -up-
deal with the antenna choices?

If that's the case I'd start with a ground plane as high as you can get it
up in the air and with as much ground as you can pound. I run two eight
foot copper ground rods right below Jay's antenna, and wonder it it's
enough.

Ever think of trying a wire antenna in those trees?
