My scanner antenna is on a metal mast a bit higher than that. Not hit... Yet! |

It'll be strictly for the antenna once I get going on that part of the project. But if I finally decide I'm not happy with the Eavesdropper then I'll either come up with another antenna project or just use it for a flagpole. dxAce Michigan USA |

Yeah, I was thinking about some photos this morning. |

"dxAce" We cut off the bad part, (about 1 foot) and it's still 22' long. Now if I sink it 2-3' into the ground in a suitable piece of pipe I'll have a nice free-standing center support for the Eavesdropper. More projects is just what I need! dxAce Michigan USA Be sure to put a "good" lightning ground unit on the lead! Burr |

You might want to consider using it as a vertical antenna. It would complement your existing horizontal antennas. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
