Dave gave us the model of your antenna,is it the 4 loops on a 20 feets mast antenna? here in Canada it is called the SRL210A4 or SRL210C4 depending if the harness is inside the mast or outside. normally the loop are 36 inches or less from the mast (i dont have my specs near),it will affect your tx pattern also, the most you get far from the tower the best result you will have because of the tower will have a effect of reflector over the antenna you will install,, i just install one at 250 feets and they were install 4 feets from the tower

Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 20:19:09 -0000 Wierd, I thought I sent this message already.. Anyway. I've been offered a site, but I would have to mount the antennas on the side of the water tower, not the top. That means within probably 3-6 feet of the side of the big metal can. I have docs from my antenna mfgr for pattern when I adjust the loop-mast spacing, but I need something that will show me what happens with distance between the mast and the water tower. I need this for VHF and UHF. Any pointers? _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Spaces: partagez vos photos du Nouvel An! http://discoverspaces.live.com/?loc=fr-CA
