I installed the RS discone on a mast at about 25 feet up, and I got
surprisingly good results on HF as well. It will help if you can get some altitude on it. Since the discone isn't designed for HF, a horizontal random wire would be better for SW listening, but the discone is not an unreasonable compromise if you want a VHF/UHF scanner antenna as well. If you're a serious SWLer, though, you'll may disappointed by the discone's performance on HF. - Doug "Macman" wrote in message ... Found this little guy on the RS web site. As I stated earlier, I want to be able to use my scanner and SW radio's and this this antenna looks like it is able to handle both. Outdoor Scanner/Ham Discone Antenna Model: 20-043 Any pros/cons with using a dual purpose antenna like this one? |
