my imax is laying in the garage corner to corner - no skip rolling in!
Hi, I'm in the midwest and since I have the Imax 2000 already i
thought i would experiment and hook this thing up! It's in the garage corner to corner with 50 feet of belden 8u with amphenol ends, la la la la. Any way... swr seems okay... no skip though! bb -- Remove the word Spam from my e-mail to contact me... http://www.PrivacySig.com/SIGbutherb...mail-black.png ~ |

I didn't see your previous posts sooner or I would have replied as I
had the same situation a few years back with a condo association. No antennas of any kind. It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. I was able to erect a concrete in a bucket setup with a hidden ground rod in the back hedge that remained attached to the base of a metal piece of mast that put the base of the antenna just over the roofline. I just leaned it up against the house at night and left the bottom section attached to the pole and made sure to lay it down in daylight. It's Crude but it works. The antenna I used was the old A99 as it was a LOT easier to handle than a I2000. I have heard of people using these antennas horizontally, yet I could never get a decent SWR match in an attic location. Please let us know if you try this and succeed. That old setup worked well for about a year. The drawback is backyard stealth commando radio which sucks. Good Luck! "Chad Wahls" wrote in message ups.com... Bummer.... I feel for you.

BB You're using your imax flatside? it's laying flat side from corner to corner, in my garage. i just disconnected it yesterday in hopes of getting a dipole, when i'm officially told i cannot erect the antenna in my patio area. buther boy -- Remove the word Spam from my e-mail to contact me... http://www.PrivacySig.com/SIGbutherb...mail-black.png ~ |
