I acquired a Kenwood TS2000 through this forum a few months ago, and have been browsing around for a first antenna.
There are almost too many resources for discussion and recommendation, a very nice problem to have. Based on a number of comments, including remarks by Dave Casler in his Youtube channel, I’ve landed on this: MFJ Ultra-Lite Off-Center Fed Dipole Antennas MFJ-2010 I’m not exactly sure yet how I’ll get it 35 feet up, but that’s a problem regardless of which antenna, unless I go with a tower. Living under an HOA in a gated compound, I prefer to see if I can get by with just the wire and make that “inconspicuous”. If anyone has a strong conviction that this is just the wrong thing to start with, I’d love to know why and what you would recommend instead. Keep in mind, this is not the only antenna I will buy that, just the first. Thanks, all. Rick Wannall KG5ITH
