that way you could get your FTA sat. oldies and your OTA's to. :mozilla_smile:

True... but then again, I've already got quite a bit of wire up in the air already -- an 80m dipole, a 40/15m delta loop, a 2m/70cm J-pole, and a pair of phased 2m loops... all for tx/rx, and a couple rx-only antennas (a wide-band discone, an 800MHz whip, and a GPS antenna).
If I built the yagi, you just know I'd have to put it on a rotor so that I could do some DX FM listening, and not just use it for that one FM station -- and I don't know if I want to tempt the neighborhood association quite that much! :mozilla_wink: The last time I crunched the numbers, a 13-element yagi would be 12-14 feet long... I don't know, maybe that project can wait a little bit. :mozilla_wink: |
HOLY SMOKES BATMAN!! :mozilla_laughing: :mozilla_laughing:
A 13-element yagi, sounds a bit ambious.. I was thinking 10 tops. (not that a 10 ellement isn't a big antenna) :mozilla_smile:
Sounds like someone's a little RF happy.. :mozilla_laughing:
How does a HAM opperator get his 80m anttena past the home owners association? Im sure there are some FCC
rules that help you guys out. :mozilla_laughing:
