Hello All,
   
  I'm new to ham radio. I'm very interested in hearing more about this 
rotatable dipole. Currently, I've got a 204' G5RV "flat top" up about 35' and 
am pleased with it's performance.
   
  I was wondering if anyone on this list [or knows anyone who has one] can give 
me some reviews on how well it performs; EHAM currently has zero. Current plans 
are being made to place it on a 20'-30' mast and attach same to the eave on the 
east side of the house. A small tv antenna rotator will take care of that chore.
   
  What is the best way to attach a 2" mast to the eave? We've lived here for 
over 10 years and the winds will gust to 80 MPH. How should I [or should I?] 
guy the top 10' of the mast?
   
  My wife and I have over three acres of property, but we are in a CC&R area. 
Most neighbors don't look up, but there are one or two who might blow the 
whistle if they even catch a glimpse of anything out of the ordinary. 
   
  The east side of the house is about 200' from the street, but any antenna up 
higher than a 25' avocado tree is flirting with danger. I understand that the 
Falcon can be painted; this is great news and may be necessary, in my case.
   
  Any help, suggestions or recommendations will be most gratefully received. 
   
  Many thanks for taking the time to respond!
