I didn't call him stupid, read in which context the reply was written..
I'm not that old, although I am approaching mid-life crisis age at 26 ;-)
back to our regularly scheduled programming.....
I am looking for a couple ideas for my QTH here in Brooklyn. I
apparently have some leverage to put antennas on the roof (I reside on
the top floor now)...
Are there some guides for mounting towers on rooftops? I'm not looking
for anything to be ridiculously high - I have seen towers on various
rooftops here in Brooklyn. (I have a stellar view to the East (Europe)
and Africa, to the north/n-west is the big noise generator manhattan)
Right now my options are as follows:
1) use a steppir vertical for 80-10M (perhaps could do some sort of
multiple vertical phasing to achieve directionality? Any suggestions?)
2) put up a small tripod with a tribander beam, and optionally a 40M
beam on the mast as well and just slap a really long length of wire over
the side of the building for 80M
3) go with perhaps 20-30ft of tower section mounted on the roof with the
obligatory beam, and a sloper dipole (I can run the wires at least 200
ft on each side of my unit)
I'd really like to use directional antennas for 20-10, (40 optional) ....
thanks for any ideas - it's been a while and my old computer with a lot
of my antenna resources was stolen, so .... thus the need to ask again..
