I believe the best way is to determine the resonant frequency of each element using AutoEZ and then adjust the tips of you actual taper schedule/element to match the original antennas. If I remember

Everett, Not sure I understand the question. Assuming you are going to have the same length of boom on either side of the tower, your choices will be to have the driven element at approximately 22 fe

Jim, They are sealed and assume made to last for a long time running at high speed in other applications. I dont know but would assume in this light duty application they would last a lifetime. You c

There wouldnt be any difference in using the guy wires cut to resonant lengths and using the tower to hold up wire antennas in between your Mastrant or Phillystan guys. In both cases you probably wil

Or slow it down by two or three to one with rotator outside of tower and chain drive? Surely a prop pitch slowed down by a factor of 2 with Green Heron controller ramping up and down would solve all

350 feet is about 5 quarter wavelengths at 3.8 MHz. Quarter wavelength is about 65 feet or so. If that thing is really 350 feet long you should see resonance at about 700 kHz, in addition to every od

If it is 300 feet total horizontal with vertical part at midpoint, I think it is resonant about 3.55 and 350 total horizontal about 3.12 Mhz. If you match it wherever it is resonant it looks like the

Seems to me if you really believe mounting antennas on opposite sides of the mast is going to make a difference in whether the mast bends you already have a problem regardless of how you mount the an
