OK, so I'm gonna put up a new wire antenna...
....and I'm gonna use existing trees to put it up about 30 feet above
ground, 15 feet above my rooftop on a 5x100 foot suburban lot. Power lines both in front and back of my house, the ones behind are much higher voltage, but not real high-tension wires. All other things being equal, am I better off: 1 - Putting this thing up parallel to, or more perpendicular to, the powerlines? 2 - Having the coax meet the wire at the base of the tree and grounding it there, or running the coax up the tree and then depending on the outer braid on the coax for ground purposes? The coax is grounded at the first termination point at my MFJ antenna phasing unit using a short, heavy copper wire to a ground rod. Thanks, Bruce |
