Gang:
I need help! Am at a new location in the mountains east of Albuquerque,
NM. Now comes the challenge of putting together an antenna farm. I
believe a vertical or vertical dipole might be the best/fastest way to get
going. Cannot get the funds together right now for a quad or yagi.
We are at 6630' ASL, on the top of a gently rolling hill with a good
360-degree look from our house. The ground is normally dry with lots of
large and smallrocks. This is high desert country. Part of my question is
whether to go with a vertical or a horizontal wire antenna, such as the 88'
doublet fed with ladder line, or maybe the IAC double bazookas I had such
terrific results with in North Dakota for the past four years.
Therefore, please make some recommendations. I have successfully used a
GAP Titan DX in two previous QTH, with very good results. Perhaps I should
just buy another one for here. OTOH, I have been sorta eyeing the StepIR
antennas. Can someone help me decide? Or are there even better ideas from
someone?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
73,
