How much broadcasting experience has Miccolo

Several thousand hours, at least......all of it right here on RRAP

Heh heh heh heh. Well, think of it this way: He isn't
causing ANY RFI or EMI by broadcasting on the
Internet... :-)

Is anyone up there knowledgeable about the Aussie
OUTbacker antenna line? I'm curious and there has been
some mention of them on the Antennex.com website.

...resulting in many,many kW hours left available for better uses

I've not heard of the OUTbacker until you mentioned it. A quick check
of the local ham radio stores (www.radioworld.ca and
www.durhamradio.com) showed no listing for this manufacturer, so there
probably aren't a lot of them installed up here.

Sorry, can't add to the knowledge base on this one - I'll ask around,
though!

Thanks for pasting the link, JS, you beat me by an hour...:-)

Outbacker NA is based in Kentucky and seems to carry all
the Aussie verticals of that brand. I'm considering that sort
of multi-band antenna for a home station...not that it matters
a great deal here since the paths north to east require NVIS
type sky-burning. Mobile will probably be 6m-2m-70cm in a
triband whip (probably Diamond) with a Diamond motorized
hatchback-lip mount that allows lowering it inside the
garage. "Stealth antenna" sort of thing...:-)

Haven't heard a lot about them "furrin ay-tennas" (like
Australia is a "foreign land?") fur dem pickups in da woods
of Kain-tuckie. Over on www.antennex they've been
described in much detail by Aussie amateurs who thought
much of them in Aussie-land outback territory.

A curiosity is how to get an effective ground plane for a
home installation that does NOT involve sticking a lot of
radials into the ground. Sprinkler pipe is all PVC so that
will not do. There's no NEC version modeling program
that can simulate the row of tall cypresses where the
intended location of a vertical would be (in between two
of the spaced cypresses). [just planning ahead...]

No sweat on a VHF-UHF home antenna...enough vent
pipes (metal) to mount them on. For "stealth" I can do
the Ventenna thing and cover the vertical VHF-UHF with
PVC pipe of large diameter.

No problem Len.

But, make sure you purchase an antenna capable of BIG power. First time
you burn up one of those antennas with one of those BIG ruskie
leen-e-airs--kinda hurts

Since I'm not contemplating any "big russkie linears" or even
US-made (or branded) on HF, not a problem here.

However, "BIG" to me is about 10 to 40 KW RF Output.
That is not allowed in US amateur radio regulations. It
is also beyond the RF Exposure limits for us urban city
dwellers. Now, not all my neighbors aren't the best of
folks but I ain't wanting to create crispy critters next
door...
