I want to put up a 20' VHF whip above my house, and since I'm
in the middle of town I intend putting in on a 20' mast to
get it above the noise. This would be fixed to a wall just under the
waves of my house. The whip is the Cushcraft ARX6 and the mast
would be 1.5" od Aluminium pole.
At what heights should I guy the antenna. One at the top of the
mast, and one 2/3 up the whip ? Wind wise I'm very sheltered but the
mast will start 20-25 ft up and I don't want it crashing down on my
neighbours.
