Can anyone comment on the performance of the High Sierra HS-1800/Pro antenna used as a base antenna? Due to my area/neighbors, etc..., this is probably the route I'm going to go. I'm just curious if anyone has any experience using this antenna for their home and it's performance as such. Thanks! Works fine for me. Throw down as much radial wire as you can get away with. |

I bought one for mobiling, but circumstances have changed.
If I were to use it for a base antenna, would I have to remove the inductor/coil which is connected to earth at the base of the bracket?

Depends. The coil is there for the relatively low input resistance on
80m, and to a lesser extent on 40m. If you have a lot of ground loss, you may find that you don't need the coil. If you have an excellent ground plane, you will need it to get a reasonable VSWR on 80m and 40m. Consider it a figure-of-merit to have to have the coil!
