I could probably park my truck out in front of his
house, and do the same thing with my mobile
antenna...My mobile often outperforms my 35-40
ft high dipoles to DX on the lower bands....
To me, it seems to be a very ugly version of a
short top loaded monopole. Nothing more, or
less really....1500 w? He *should* be working dx,
or something is kuput....I work DX mobile with 100w
no problemo. That the "MRA junior" is only 200w doesn't
mean too much to me. He's still twice what I run...
If I were to run a MRA, I would at least install a hot tub
or spa in the middle...Add cup holders...Seats around
the outer section...etc...Shrubbery around the outside to
keep the old lady happy....Hell, with a used JATO engine,
you could probably take a trip in that thing...
I bet it would show on radar, until you ran into the underbelly
of that passing 737-700 that happened to be flying over the
house at the same time... Ouch....Can we spell headache?
