Subject:  R5 mounted above C4SXL - good idea or bad? Author:  W0YG Charlie Summers <w0yg@plusten.net> Date:  08-Apr-2003 08:45:10 Folks: In the ARRL modeling course, there is a section on what happens when one raises a HF vertical 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 wavelength above ground. Without looking it up again, a little red flag comes up in my mind that there are going to be problems. This should be investigated before the installation is done because the results that I remember were quite negative. Cushcraft in their manual for the R5 surely states the height above ground that is recommended. This might be the optimum height at which the antenna is to be mounted for a reason. If I can find my reference in the L.B. Cebek book, I will post it here. However being some 400+ pages long, it is a chore to lookup some items. 73, Charlie, W0YG..>> -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
