Looking for input on a 6m/2m/70cm field day antenna setup that does not require a rotor. Suggestions? _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesti
One, Two or Three separate antennas? A vertical on 50MHz won't matter much. I have a Diamond DPGH62 <now a CP62> that has nice performance only 15' or so off the ground. You can also use any number o
Typical setup was 3 element 6m yagi at 25', 12 element yagi on 2m & 432. Looking for easier setup without rotor without too much performance loss. Floyd KC5QBC _______________________________________

If you want something omnidirectional, horizontally polarized, loops or stacked loops would be the way to go. The range would be more limited than that with a Yagi, though. 73, Zack W9SZ ____________

I have to tell my 432 loop story. Once upon a time, I had a M2 70 cm loop, mounted off the side of my tower, @75'. It had a clear shot at the FLWSS beacon, in Orlando, thirty something miles away. Si
I guess it may be time to re-purpose a trailer with tower, yagis and rotor. I'm really looking for quick/low effort setup and take down but I do understand the loss in doing that. Sadly in DFW not ma
Last year I just stuck to 6 meters on FD. I used a 4 element Yagi on a 13 foot boom. Worked well. We had some openings to the southwest and southeast USA and Caribbean on 6. Never heard anything nort

Perhaps it's time to repost this idea I had last year. == I'd been thinking of ways to mount a rotor for hill-topping on my 2" trailer hitch receiver when I stumbled over a "Haul Master Vise Mount" a
Or do something like Marshall, K5QE has done and have fixed yagi's pointed in different directions. -- Mike Urich KA5CVH http://ka5cvh.com The highest "authority" in America is its Constitution. ____

Mike WA6ZTY, Thank you for reposting your idea. I remember your original post and wanted to replicate your idea. I think this year I just might. Thanks. My current set up uses a tower section that ti
understand the loss in doing that. Sadly in DFW not many folks play on VHF+ even during field day. Mike contends That if you could find a way to score VHF contacts for FD the way you do for the rest
