I know I'm about to sound completely nuts to everyone but I'm just doing all this stuff for FD... ;)
I'll probably end up using the 100' or 50' chunk of LMR400 that I have laying around here depending on how far away the antenna has to be from the tent... Being that I'm going to be running 40 radials (and don't want to staple it down) I'm going to need to keep it away from where people will be walking. I've also got 2 other wire antennas that are proven and we know are going to work well... But I always like trying stuff that I've never done before for FD. I know we're not going to be winning any awards but I've got trees freakin everywhere and I'm going to probably have 4 antennas hooked to the K3 two RX only and two TX/RX... I've never been to the location where its held this year and so thats new for me too. I just try to have fun, make sure I get a few good bites of the potluck, and get to play with more antennas and better antennas than I'll ever have at my current home. Later I'll have a better setup but for now FD is my biggest play date w/ Ham Radio every year... These are where I get to try stupid things and find out what does and doesn't work. ~Brett (N7MG) ~Brett (N7MG) On Tue, 2010-06-22 at 21:10 -0700, Phil Kane wrote: > On that basis, see if you can get some 75 ohm "hardline" from > your local cable company - they are pulling it all out in favor of > fiber optic cable and throwing it away unless the local hams > ask for it.
