Gang, I've been trying out an antenna arrangement at my QTH that uses a design based on the IK-STIC 2:
http://hometown.aol.com/realhamradio2/W2IK-ANTENNA.html My particular version of the IK-STIC 2 eliminates the telescoping fibergass pole in favor of a simple wire supported at the peak of my roof. The whole works has been placed near the side of my house, somewhat concealed from the street and neighbors. The antenna is fed with almost 100 ft of coax and has an Elecraft T1 tuner and BL-1 balun at the feedpoint. I control the T1 using a switch in my shack that's connected to the T1's jack using almost 100 ft of RG-174. The whole arrangement seems to work FB for my purposes, and I'm working to make the whole installation durable enough to stand up to the elements. Have any of you remoted your T1? How have you enclosed it or otherwise protected it from the weather? I've been looking around for a suitable enclosure but nothing I've seen has really grabbed me thus far. 73 de Dave NK0E _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
