Subject: Sigma 5 coax supports

Used my new Sigma GT-5 for the first time last weekend during the FYBO
contest. Had it setup out on a frozen lake in northern Michigan and operated
out of a portable ice fishing shanty...used an FT-100D at five watts and
worked stations from Alberta to Florida, California to Maryland, and got
very good signal reports. What a great portable antenna!

I fabricated stands for the feedline out of three pairs of eight foot 1 x 2
fir strips, placed about ten feet apart, in order to keep the line as
perpendicular to the antenna as possible. Wondered what anyone else has done
to keep the feedline from coupling with the antenna, especially for portable
use?

Roger, N8KV
