You're right, the mounting location is on the lowest platform of this particular mast at a height of about 15m. The antenna is to be mounted sideways to the rail of the platform. Probably it would be possible to mount 2 antennas on the opposite sides of the platform, but this is not clear yet (was a question for the DB212 also).
Is there somebody on this list who has built a shortened (i.e. base loaded) 6m antenna, probably for mobile use? I'd be interested in the design and the experiences with it. Not much is to be found on the net regarding 6m designs in particular. 73 Martin --- In [email protected], "Chuck Kelsey" <wb2...@...> wrote: > > You haven't given us a clue as to the mounting location. > > A ground plane antenna is going to be about 54" high and would be about the > shortest configuration I can think of.
