Unpatriotic creeps? Sounds like you need to get PRB-1 in your corner. Essentially, they cannot stop you from erecting *something*, you have the right to an antenna. You might not get something really great, but they will need to accomodate to some extent. A flagpole antenna is one of those compromises. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

"W3CQH" wrote Thanks for your thoughts - I am NOT allowed either of the 2 items that you suggested (flag pole or missile - although I would like to have a Gatling Gun mounted and take pot shots at the senior citizens that use my street as a tune up for drag racing). ---------- Record their license plate numbers and file an official complaint with the police. There is no excuse for behavior like that, and I'm a senior citizen. Ed, NM2K |

I am hearing a lot of sigs, but I am having probs being heard! 100w! I routinely work anywhere CONUS from Phoenix on 5w into either a screwdriver vertical, a hamstick vertical or a pair of hamsticks horizontal dipole. With those same antennas and 100w I can work Australia and Latin America. Mount a hamstick or screwdriver on your car and run a length of RG58 inside to your transciever. I think you describe having 90' of roofline. That's enough for a good sized wire dipole. Bird feeders, security cameras and windsocks for some reason seem to work best at 16.6' off the ground.

Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke -- Camouflage Operations www.n0eq.com Thanks Lumpy - I have a screwdriver mounted on my truck, but the HOA says that I can't run a cable to it.. In the cover of darkness I did run a cable - and someone complained! |
