Really? That sounds cool. What freq, and what's the spacing and phase
angle? Got a pic?





They are spaced 90 degrees, (34 feet)


Were you going for the null or the lobe?


Equal lengths of RG-8 running
to the house. I change the phasing by swapping coax loops in the
house.


Have you checked the broadside gain while running them in-phase?


I made them from 19' sections of chain link top rail with some
scrap tv antenna masts


Those fence pipes sure do come in handy. I have two masts up right now
using them, one of them for my lowfer rig. Pretty hard to beat for the
price!

I use them for a flag pole for my Nascar flags at the race..easy set-up
and tear down..handy!

I'm thinking of making a grill-guard for the truck with them. Some
idiot took out my roo-guard last month -- that brings my "hit count"
to 17, not including the garage. Do people drive that bad in Ohio?

I suppose they drive like that everyplace..it's a matter of being in
the wrong place at the wrong time, or your truck is a magnet. I have
one of those too.

I think -I'm- the magnet. The Dart I drove in college was hit 5 times,
the LTD got hit twice before it was totalled, the S-15 was rear-ended
by an ambulance, the LeBaron was hit three times in two weeks, etc.
I've had the S-10 for two years and it's been hit twice -- both times
while it was parked! All in Spokane. Fortunately, I've only been hit
once when I had a passenger, and that was the ambulance wreck so at
least there was help available if someone got hurt.

Ok, I'm stepping off the soap box now.....

Dang..sounds like you have a bulls-eye painted on you. All you need
now is an ambulance chaser attorney to ride along with you. j/k

There's something cosmic about that. I've had 2 major accidents in my
whole life, and both were in the same car. Neither were my fault.
