I'd stay away from a vertical. You'll have problems with manmade interference in an apartment complex and vertical polarization will make it worse. I'd go for a 44' doublet/inv-V supported by a nonconductive mast and fed with twinlead...or an OCF fed with coax. 73, Bill W4ZV 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Antenna-suggestions-resent-tp7579318p7579351.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
