Well, I finished putting up my system today, consisting of a converted motorola mitrek (that old junk I converted, not built :) oy!) and a DB-420 fed with 7/8" heliax. Its mounted atop a water tower at 150 ft, 130' haat. I have had portables up to 15 miles away getting in well, one was 10 miles away on the ht inside the car down in whats known as an rf hole and he was full quieting. A pleasant suprise.
So oviously the 420 works well. I had the choice of a 408, but Skipp has that one now. I got the 420 as a "gift" so I chose to go with that. I see a few around here that have been up for quite a while, no bends in them. We will see what happens to ours after a few chicago storm seasons and winters.
A BIG thanks goes out to all on the list who helped out our project. ALL of the advise here is priceless and really aids us first timers! Kevin, keep it up!
Thanks again to all!
