On that 70" wire you use, how long have you used that specific antenna
setup? What did you use before that? |

It is transformer matched and the coax is buried, same as the 200' wire. What did you use before that? I used pretty much the same 70' wire and various inverted vee's. |

And, up until 5 or 6 years ago I had access a few times a year to a nice setup that featured 6 pretty much permanent beverages from 300 to 700 feet or so in a very quiet location. Beginning in late October I've begun experiencing some noise here that pretty much makes the 200' wire useless. The noise did take about a two week break right about Radio St. Helena time but then returned. I'll have to get out one of these days when the weather improves and see if I can locate the source and let our local BPW know. |

One thing I forgot to mention is that I put up a 25 foot 'flagpole' mast in the fall, but I've yet to install any inverted vee's on it. Maybe come Spring! It's a flagpole made by the Olympus company, comes in about 4-5 foot sections. Had 21 feet of it donated to me and I purchased another 4 foot section. dxAce Michigan USA |

I really need to lay down some new coax also, guess it's been seven yrs. maybe eight- on my oldest and it's buried also. One more thing. Is that an actual flagpole-- and you're just going to use the flagpole itself as a mast? Kind of confused me there. ;-) |
