![]() "Wayne" wrote in message ... I put up an Outbacker by using a standard automotive rack mount clamped on the conduit above the metal patio cover. The Outbacker was installed simply because it was easy to do, and I have one. Results were similar to what would be expected from an Outbacker mounted on a car. There was an unacceptable amount of cordless phone interference on 20 meters. Snip Wayne W5GIE The cordless phone interference may be due to the power supply/charger. (I have a little wall wart that I use for my 220 HT during weekly local nets. It's so nasty that I need to unplug it when we shift to HF. Someday I will replace it. Someday I will do lots of things.)

"Sal" (KD6VKW) Yes, quite likely as the wall wart is located about 1/4 wave on 20 m from the antenna, and there are various possible paths. With the weather moderating, I'll be doing antenna projects soon. The goal is 40-10 meters. I have a separate 6 m whip on the patio cover also, but it doesn't seem to operate as well as an attic dipole. I'll verify that when 6 opens up a bit. --Wayne W5GIE -exiled in W6 land ![]() |
