Sounds like it should work fairly well. I've had various similar antennas over the years. I would agree to just about everything the last poster said about feeding it , HV points, 1/4wl radials etc.
Chris is right! You guys south of the border cannot realize what we VE's end up paying for US stuff. Normally I can count on paying just about double for stuff from the USA (and elsewhere). By the ti

Thanks to all the nice informative replies I received. (& one that was not so nice ;-P ) Gives me lots to think about. We'll see how things go in the next month or so with the move to a new QTH (hope
Hi All, I tried searching the archives, but the server seems to be down @ the moment. I "THINK" either my rotor has packed it in, or the start cap has opened up. The HD73 turns very slowly (and groan
