Hi. If I want to talk abrefoot and run a dipole for 27 MHz in my attic, I
noticed there are numerous versions. The vertical is out for obvious
reasons. So
there are inverted and horizontal. Is there any version I am better off
using
barefoot?

If you don't want to mess with punching a few holes in your roof, then go
with a tower.
You'd only need 5 10 foot sections at the most.
Rohn 25 towers are simple and quick to put together.
You can find used ones dirt cheap at practically any "ham fest".

With such a small base, 18" or so, setting the tower in a cement filled hole
is a snap.
You could even use a foldup section with it.
We've lifted 40ft upright with no trouble.
Under 60 feet, you don't even need guy wires.
But one set at 40 ft might not be a bad idea.
Set it up next to the house and you don't need to worry about trenching the
coax.

If you go the tree route, and trench the coax, put it in conduit or even
some pvc pipe.
And for 150 feet, I'd use Rg8, not 58.

You don't have a clue as to who I am or what I do. Your assertion
that I run out of band with illegal power is false and it only further
supports that fact that you continue to be clueless.

I have noticed he always makes calims, and then wants everyone else to prove it
for him.

Exactly right itoldyouiamnotgeorge, you da man. The reason
this thread is going on so long is steveo and the other
keyclowns telling the guy to bury his dipole under a stream
by his house or some **** like that. And yes I agree the neighbors
are gonna hear him once his amp comes in the house which is
probably why he wants a hidden antenna LOL

Oh. Which part of putting it in a tree, did you not understand? After all that
info you provided about putting it in a tree, and now you are claiming I want a
hidden antenna? hmmm.

Vinnie you said you run a 100 watt amp in the car and you
may get a 2510 or a Lincoln and use it on CB. Both of those
things are illegal, now if you can't be trusted to obey the CB
rules how can you be trusted to obey the ham rules?

This is the route I am going to go long term, because I want to go ham
eventually. In the meantime, I will stick something like a Firestik in the attc
with some wires to form a ground plain. And no, I am not hooking up an amp. And
if I was, I would tell you I would. I already have one in my car. I am not
getting one for my house.

Check the following link out. The idea looks interesting. They're not cheap
but it looks like want you want; small - no ground plane required - low
profile. They have several models available, Ham bands and one for 11m CB
too.

If the wire will work just as good, I wil do that.


It will work fine. Just make sure all the wires have a good connection
to the shield of the coax.

I wouldn't even mess with running a coax out that far. It's just not
worth the effort. You would be better off using what you have around
the house. Got a flagpole?


No. And I can't put one in front of my house, because the septic drain field is
there.


Septic fields have very low ground resistance and make for great
outdoor antennas. They are also an ideal place to sink a couple ground
rods for lightning protection..... something you shouldn't ignore even
with an indoor antenna.

I think Mrs. Enzo will get ****ed. Hiding it out in the trees would be great.
Plus I don't know if there are any local ordinances regarding a mast.

Frank presented another problem. The damn Ground hogs, moles, squirrels, will
eat my coax.

Vinnie S.

Vinnie, Frank, pay attention. He is going to do a buried 150 ft coax
run to the tree, right? What's the velocity factor of RG8 or of the
coax he will use? Do the math, how much of his 4w out will reach the
antenna? He claims he isnt gonna keyclown, but I think he's lying.





You think everybody is lying and is a keydown

Judging the posts by you 3, no thanks.
