One more question: Does anyone have any information on 5/8-wavelength verticals for 160 meters? [about 324 ft. high] Using 2-meter comparisons ... seems this would be a lot better for DX. I'm thinkin

Be very very careful. If that thing gets away, you are dragging 300 feet of wire across the landscape -- including power lines. Even if it goes straight up at first, it will come down eventually and

Do not forget about FAA regulations. If it is going to be that high, you will need to light the thing, or at the very least notify the FAA every time you put it up so they can issue a NOTAM. Pilots r

I have been considering one also for 160M but it occurred to me that it would be up at night and police and other helicopters fly over my house pretty low. Anyone know the FAA restrictions on this ty

If I was going to do that, I would go to a car lot, or appliance store, that uses those things for advertisement. There must be thousands used around here. Find out the name of the outfit they bought
