I'm curious and there has been some mention of them on the Antennex.com website. 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! 73, LA 73, Leo |

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. 73, LA |

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... 73, LA |

... Well, anyway, if not for these six fingers, I don't think exposure to rf is all that dangerous. grin Actually, I did hear tell of guys up in alaska working on radar, decades ago and before microwave ovens, they found holding their hands over the slits in waveguides "warmed" their fingers--then some started ending up with pains in their hands--cooked partially fingers are painful! I have never heard of HF causing any medial problems which can be proved to relate. However, UHF and beyond is quite different ... JS -- http://assemblywizard.tekcities.com |
