Folks,
I've been doing TONS of reading. Mostly I'm hearing that fiberglass
radome antennas aren't so good in repeater service. I'm looking for a
dual-band antenna (2m/70cm) for a 70cm repeater and 2m remote base.
I'm not finding much that isn't a fiberglass radome. I'm not set on a
huge
I'd try a 2m folded dipole array in 3/4 wave mode for the 440
have good luck with Diamond or Comet, especially at sites with low
potential for intermod.

Paul, AE4KR

Cort,
(1) Can be addressed by using antennas with one-piece radomes. In
theory, the right preparation to seal junctions might also work. In
long-term installations, the gel-coat on the radomes will break down
under UV radiation from the sun,
A friend and I used direct-burial heat shrink tubing with some kind of
sealing goo in it on a multi-piece antenna and did a PVC holder for
the top end. We were pretty happy with it, but I've heard so much
about how great the folded dipole antennas are that I was unsure if I
was really

I'd like to put my hat in the ring here..
Back in the 90's a Diamond 23A 2M antenna was at 5000' for 10 years
before it was replaced. It stood off the SE corner of a 300 meter national
transmitter tower at about the 30M section, and serviced a vast area of
country.
The tower was on
