[TenTec] OT: Indoor Antenna

[John Graves]

Frank,

I suggest you look for an Cushcraft R7.  It has the traditional sleeve 
traps which make it relatively narrow...It does want short radial 
extenstions at the bottom but they will scare the birds z(HI) and it 
could be inserted into your errr Flackpole   oh flagpole if you use 
PVC.  It is about 22 ft tall but you will want it up at 7-10 ft to start 
to get reasonable performance.  I love mine and now that I have all the 
parts to rebuild it, (Storm damage) I will be back in action.

Interestingly, the attic dipoles do better on send and receive for 40 through 10.  The screwdriver vertical does pretty well on 80, and reasonably well on 6 and 2.

My neighbors complain about just about anything, and there is even a committee of the HOA that goes around the entire development every week looking for discrepancies.
