Greetings -
I have been on the list for a while, and finally took my test (no code
tech, I'm still working on code). It appears I passed!
I have a 100ft freestander going up, it's a Rohn similar to a trylon.
Here is a few questions.
First, antenna? I'm more concerned about working as many bands as I can
with the limited space. Not knowing the different models available, I'd
like to get some suggestions.
Second, radio? Again, multiband. I have been looking at the Yaesu's on
ebay (ouch), but not knowing too much about them, I'm open to suggestions.
Next, rotor. Seeing as this always comes up on this list, (thrust
bearings, other parts broken), can I hear from some of you who hasnt had
any problems?
Also, I'm looking at running 7/8" heliax between the house and the antenna,
as the underground run would be close to 250', then another 100' for the
tower. Any comments on this?
73,
Troy
