Good Afternoon, All: Ever have someone tell you to read and read, again any email you write before you send it ??
After church today, I went to get my email, and saw what I sent to "you all". DAH! A correction or two concerning that successful antenna. The one I described was used with marginal success. The one that really worked the best was in fact four slopping dipoles (at 45 degrees to the tower) , one for each directional side of the steel tower --- N, E, S, W, attached to the tower at about 40 feet up. Two relays gave me antenna selection at the tower so I could have only one feed line to the shack. I regularly worked all the AO and RS satellites is all directions. Mode A to Hawaii was a real challenge, but I did it often. Good Luck Jim Jipping, W8MRR _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
