[Repeater-Builder] Re: colinears as repeater antennas
I'm not a big fan of the fiberglass toothpick either. Put a 5 degree downtilt into radio mobile, and see what it does to your pattern over flat land. Now look at your toothpick, which is usually leaning a few degrees one way or the other due to wind. :-P I'd really like to change my antenna to the 4-bay that's sitting in the garage. Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: colinears as repeater antennas
I was talking to a person yesterday about foaming tyres and it seems after the foam expands it becomes hard so I would think it would a1 for making a colinear more resistant to windsso the joints carnt move .I do not however knowifthe problem is static buildup between the sections then foaming may not be a benefit .however I have seen commercial antennas from overseas and they seem to be made with poly foam inside where our antennas over here seem to be made with nothing to reinforce them for wind problems Thank You, Ian Wells, Kerinvale Comaudio, www.kerinvalecomaudio.com.au ---Original Message--- From: Dave VanHorn Date: 05/21/06 03:44:59 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: colinears as repeater antennas I'm not a big fan of the fiberglass toothpick either.
