[Repeater-Builder] Re: Call Sign and Sounds like a Ham, NOT
I guess you could do the same in WV . But Ham plate is Totaly different Color White With tower And Am Radio on it . Some other states also have this type plate . The Am Radio is a Special Plate $5 first time for plate then no extra charge for yearly sticker after . Vanity Plates have an extra charge every year, Like $45 over and above cost of sticker . As long as you have Ham raido you will have some trying to get on air using an non existing call or some elses . Even in WV where most of us know each other this happens. Usualy when you confront them they don't come back to you .

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Antenna gain specs
Sometimes if you just ask the question Relative to what! All manufactures don't base there Gain spec on Unity Gain of a Dipole, Some have there own Base Spec , and nobody knows what it is , I am always leery of companies that tend to always have the most of everything . The Company I worked for bought some Fiberglass antennas that were supposed to be 6 - DB Gain a 1/4 wave Mobil antenna would out perform them we ended up junking them . Had to drive 200 Miles one way and change out 16 Antenna . The antenna that worked best for us was a commercial copy of the ringo ranger 3/4 wave length on bottom 1/2 wave length on top with hair pin between.

As per the difference between Commercial and ham antennas usually the commercial antennas are better built will withstand more wind load last longer with less service , But I don't think would have any better signal . I use both for ham Have a chushcraft 26-b2 has been in use for 9 years works as good as day I put up . Also have a commercial Dipole stacked 4 which has been in use for same amount of time . Both are on 30' tower if I was going to put on tower above 100' would want the best antenna I could find or Buy would be a whole lot cheaper than having to replace often .

I'd rather not use a ham antenna in the commercial bands. Are there some that'll do the 136 to 174 split, and some UHF that'll do like 439 to 490? Any ideas? Thanks, Jed

Just a thought . DaleN8SAC Has anyone tried to combine DB224E DB408 on the same mast? We have one free space on a nice tower with a good location. The 2 meter antenna on the tower needs replacing. I would like to install a 440 repeater. I have both antennas would like to find a way to get the max use of the location. If anyone has done this, did you use two feed lines or a combiner to one feed line? I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on this. Fred N4GER
