Hi Guys, I will be installing my new Hi-Z 2-3 RX antenna this coming weekend. I live on a small quarter acre lot in Maryland so I expect a few challenges and compromises. I would like to hear from other small lot Hi-Z owners so I may be able to avoid or workaround any issues and manage my expectations.
I will be using 3 home brewed 15 foot verticals made out of 5 foot telescoping sections of sched 40 pvc pipe. (1.25 -> 1 -> .75) These will be painted and mounted to a six foot cedar privacy fence and the wire will continue down the fence 3 more feet providing me with 18 foot total length for each of the verticals. My transmit antenna will be very close to one of the verticals and within 50-100 feet of the other two. I know in advance this will be an issue. I'm looking for ideas to detune it while in RX. I am hoping this antenna will offer much better performance than my short BOG. Any helpful advice would be welcome. Thanks, Joe KB3KJS _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
