Wellbrook ALA1530+ Vs. ALA100?
Ron Hardin wrote: My 6 DA100E whips and 2 ALA1530s are disguised as bird feeders and bird houses, not because of any restriction but because it makes it neighbor-friendly. loop in foreground and whip in background http://home.att.net/~rhhardin/antenna.jpg Both are supported by 8' ground rods tapped in a few feet; the ALA1530 is on a galvinized pipe slipped over the ground rod, with a floor flange screwed on the bottom so it doesn't sink into the ground, making it rotatable by hand. The coax comes off the outside of the pipe and makes a few turns looped around the pipe for slack, this loop being covered by a stove burner reflector against lawnmower attacks. The bird feeder is supported by the antenna rather than vice versa, incidentally. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. Any chance of you posting medium and tight close ups of the DA100Es? A friend in Flagstaff is dealing with (fighting) overly restrictive condo rules and I sent him the photo of the Wellbrook. He may be able to sneak, as in be granted persmission, a vertical active antenna into his backyard. He was allowed to errect a Rat Sahck Diskcone but that makes a very poor HF antenna. Thank you Terry |
