Warren, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time... just trying to teach a little.. You can do exactly as said in my previous mail... but the pattern will be a mess. Be careful about mounting too close to the tower, coupling will mess up the match. Maybe feeding the 180 deg out would work. This is where modeling comes into the picture. I would suggest that you get four dipole array, and space them evenly around the tower... You might also talk to Dean at Cook Towers.. he is pretty good at solving these kind of problems.
Sorry if it appeared that I was taking a swat at you... certainly didn't mean it that way. Also Paul, N1BUG is pretty good with dipole arrays... you might give him a try. 73, mike -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Warren Beaule Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2005 7:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Antenna Good afternoon I guess I asked the question in a poor way. I have a comercial operator who is willing to allow me to put a repeater in his place and an antenna on his tower. However he doesn't want a side mount sticking out six feet from the tower. I had heard that using two antennas close in would give me omni coverage while one would limit me to 270 deg. That is why I was asking about the co-phasing for two meters. it is a two meter repeater regards Warren ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca Yahoo!
