[TowerTalk] Hustler mobile resonators dipole

[Jamesnf at aol.com]

Pete:

Tom's suggestion was to use a vertical radiator as tall as the proposed two 
mobile whips and substitute a good ground system for the lower whip.  I 
heartily agree.  Although a 35 x 35 lot is a little marginal for a radial system for 
80 and 40, it will be more efficient than the very short vertical dipole 
proposal.  

A simple solution would be a Hustler 6BTV, ground mounted, over a generous 
radial system.  This would have no greater visual impact than the Hustler mobile 
whip vertical dipole,  have automatic bandswitching,  be inexpensive and have 
reasonably efficient, low angle radiation.  

This is the time of year to get those radials installed!  Mow the grass 
short, pin the radials to the sod and next spring you'll watch the grass grow and 
totally hide them.

Good luck,
