Dear list-
I was just wondering about the performance of a long wire dangled over
a cliff? Our Field Day location is on the Mogollon Rim (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogollon_Rim ) of Northern Arizona. We
really like the view, but I was wondering if it might not be useful
for antenna experimentation, too.
My thought is to use a fiberglass pole at a 45deg angle to hold a
weighted antenna line off from the cliff face, although some locations
even have pretty good overhangs. Then we could use either an inverted-
L configuration, running feedline along the support pole and bringing
the horizontal part up to a tree near the edge, or just go with a
really long end-fed antenna.
Any thoughts on this? I couldn't find anything written about this via
google. All constructive comments are welcomed.
