Okay here's the deal,
I would absolutely love to put up a Log P, but lamentably my tower is only 42' to the thrust bearing, and if I put up even the smallest Tennadyne T-6, the 38' (2x19') rear element would severely overhang not only the neighbors yard, but their house as well. (they are 24" from the lot line.) My other concern is ice. That is to say, when it ices up (as it will inevitably do several times each winter) the longer elements could droop to the point where they could strike his roof, mine, a nearby tree. (heck, the balance between peace among neighbors and a decent antenna system sure is frustrating... So, I have to keep it small, but I would like it to cover more than the usual 20-15-10 devices, and still have some level of performance. (gee, while I'm at it, let's have it defy gravity, be completely invisible, and guarantee a 59 copy to even the remotest corners of the globe... but seriously folks, I need some real life testimonials here!) I have a brand new TH3JR (purchased 5 years ago) still in the unopened box, but I'm thinking 'more bands' would be nice. I found a local place that has some interesting antennas, but I find few references to them and their performance on the web. (that's not to suggest they are not good devices, heck, they could be a well kept secret little gem.) Here's a link to the one I'm looking at: http://www3.sympatico.ca/tgmc/mq-2.html It's quite compact, and a very different configuration from anything I've seen elsewhere. So, what's out there that's small and yet delivers decent performance with 20-17-15-12-10 in mind? Any helpful firsthand experience passed along would be very much appreciated! Pat, VE3PMK (I'm slowly getting spam under control, so please post replies here. Thanks!) |
