Hi All

I have recently moved into Montgomery County Maryland from overseas
(UK) and need to either identify a professional aerial installation
company or some knowledgeable person to enable me to install a couple
of antennas - an Alpha Delta DC-CC and a DIamond Co-Linear for
2metres. Support with siting options also probably needed.

Any idea welcomed.

Best wishes

Greetings, Andy, and as I reside in the metro DC area (Arlington County,
VA) the first thing you should do is check on the local
ordinances/homeowner association restrictions on antenna height, etc. A
ham buddy of mine in Vienna, VA, had to cut his planned tower height "down
to size". Of course in the case of an outright ban on outdoor antennas,
you could always go with the vertical inside the pvc flag pole.
