I have a couple of 33' phased verticals he can take a picture of...


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.....

Ha! I knew one of those that drove her Bud van right thru the front
of a shot and beer bar. Too much sampling the product.

Yea, Saturday was downright miserable, it went down below freezing at
night too but the furnace did the trick. That's a long camper haul up
and down those hills they call mountains in Virginia and W Virginia..

That place is killer!

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.

Nothing is ever your fault, Dave. We discussed this problem in your
last therapy session.
