Really interesting Doug. I am sure others have enjoyed it too. Has it been published in AR?
I have had to give up the idea of mounting a rotatable dipole on my VHF/UHF mast because there is not enough room for it when the mast is lowered, so the vertical will have to be 80-10m.
I will try turning the present HF mast into a non-resonate monopole/inverted L because I already have an auto-tuner and it would be an easy task. If that does not work out will have to go to a commercial antenna.
Although I love puddling around with bits wire and metal, the reality is that the arthritis in my hands is making it more and more difficult for me to make, build and repairs things so buying is becoming the only option.
I have been offered a new Diamond CP6 at a very good price. I know the reviews are very mixed but some get very good results with them. Any opinions out there?
I am going on a cruise tomorrow and my postings may be irregular for a few weeks.
