RE: [TowerTalk] elevated short vertical dipole orquarterwave monopole?

[Jim Lux <jimlux@earthlink.net>]

You don't understand.. the 1000 foot tower (300 meters, actually) is to 
hold up my HDTV over the air antenna so I can receive signals from Mt. 
Wilson (some 20 mi to the East).  There just happens to be a hill in the 
way that I have to look over.

I'm just glad that I can get dual use from the tower. Just slide that 200 
foot vertical dipole on the top next to the HDTV panel.

It's an OTARD, after all...
