[VHFcontesting] question

[Cy Kurtz]

I, too, ditched DirecTV a while ago, and I've been wondering the same sorts of 
things. My DirecTV dish is mounted on an eave.

Wouldn't it be neat to have a 2m vertical there? I think it's wise to leave 
the coax in place. Is it 75 ohm?  I'll bet there's some way to use it for 
receive at least, but I wonder just what sort of power that cable could 
stand.

If nothing else, you now have a nice high dipole midpoint, even if you have to 
run some coax to it.

Also wouldn't it be neat to use that mounting bracket for solar panels?
