Does anyone have any ideas on how to mount a j-pole on the edge of a roof,
which is for the 6-m band? It is absolutely huge (somewhere between 13 and
14 feet high, I believe). The wind seems to be able to move it around more
than I thought it would before getting the antenna.
Very nice antenna, though, for a j-pole (dipole), and with it on the ground
have been able to hit repeaters as far away as 50 miles with mountains
inbetween. (That knife-edge has always been wonderful to me. To digress a
moment, I was able once to talk with my wife on simplex 30 miles apart, with
each of us on opposite sides of a 11,000 foot high mountain, with full
quieting.)
Thanks in advance,
