I've just purchased an older 2m rig (FT290R) and looking for suggestions for a temporary omnidirectional antenna to use with it.
I say temporary as I am waiting on help to get a tower down and disposed of so that I can then put up other masts that are easier for me to handle (the joys of getting older).
At this stage, the temporary antenna is likely to be mounted on the barge board on one end of the house (corrugated iron roof).
There's also the possibility of a 6m rig in the near future (again an older one).
Anybody want a 10m freestanding tower? I've got two of them to get rid of but you'll have to pull one of them down.
Edit 29/7/21: Went in to the shed earlier today and just so happened to trip over a Comet SB-15 vertical that I had forgotten about, so that will solve the temp antenna problem for now.
