Topband: K2AVQ FCP antenna

[CUTTER DAVID]

The usual solution is to do your best.  I am fortunate that I can erect the FCP at 3m away from bushes and trees, but I doubt if I would notice a drop of a few feet other than tuning.

I am going to try one but it would be much better in the intended location if the lowest wire was at 6 feet rather than 8. Has anybody experimented with a lower height and if so was the performance much degraded? Other than that I am following the build instructions to the letter.
