and , work that well?

[mags71]

Yep, its great, I just wish i could find the original plans for it. Might have to pull this one down & measure it all up one day.

What is that HUGE tower on the left?

[mags71]

Telstra tower, Did have heaps of Dishes on it , but now mainly mobile phone.

[weazlechin]

isnt it just a bad camera angle?

[mags71]

No.

[weazlechin]

stands a chance its horizontal like he said, it runs parallel with the horizon? (who said it wasnt though)

[mags71]

Not sure what your looking at , because it does not run parallel with the horizon its on a 45 deg. angle.

[weazlechin]

supressorgrid, thats wrong.

its horizontally polorized. nothing to do with the horizon

[marlonsabillon]

measurements please...good coax ;)

[mags71]

As mentioned before I dont have them.

[KC8YOQ]

Plans please!

[mags71]

I wish i still had them, one day i will have to pull it down and measure it all. The original plan was on an old Commodore 64 computer antenna design program.

Hi,

Shouldn't it be horizontal ? Or at least work better...

I new to CB so mind if this is a stupid question !

Thanks

[mags71]

It could be mounted horizontal, but this way it works for local ( Vertical )as well as directional for skip.

[supressorgrid]

Uh, I think it is a horizontal as it runs parrelell with the horizon.

[mags71]

it is actually on a 45 Degree angle.
