That's exactly it Joe. I could use a good repeater antenna, but I also enjoy experimentation. Sometimes it even pays off! Failure is always a possibility, but if you don't try you won't succeed. This thing has just been laying around, so... Paul On Saturday 30 October 2004 05:19 pm, Joe

-Builder] DB264-A vs -C dimensions OK, I know the major response to this is going to be forget it and buy the right antenna. but I will blunder in and ask this anyway. Question: does anyone know the center to center dipole spacing for a DB264-A (150 - 160 MHz) antenna? I'm trying
