We have a 440 repeater with a Six meter remote base setup. On the Six meter receiver we constantly get little pops that key up the repeater and is quite anoying. The Pops are created by very close TV station transmitters at the site and appear to be on channel so filtering is not an option.

I had exactly this same problem when I used an RCA TAC-200 radio as a repeater. It would let small slivers of squelch COS through to the controller and would key up the tail on the controller. In my case it occurred every 10 or 15 minutes and was an artifact of the radio squelch circuit. I

I've been told one way to lengthen the elements is to put a bolt through the middle of the bends (top bottom) of each element. Aluminum bolts would be preferred. Of course, this does nothing to improve the match, but it may be broad enough. Some experimentation would be in order...there's

The characteristic impedance of a folded dipole in free space is 280 Ohms per John Krause in his book on Antennas page 417. Put that folded dipole next to a metal pipe as on a DB 224 and the impedance changes to a resistive component of about 125 Ohms with a capacitave reactance component.
