If you have a very good location for the antenna then RF absorbing material is not going to help because there will be nothing to apply it to. I think in most cases money is best spent on some 1 inch iron pipe so that anything that is reflective is below the antenna's horizon. So your before/after results would depend of just how poor the antenna location has I used a 1" pipe with a pipe flange screwed to the top end. I mounted the antenna to the flange using four stainless steel bolts and ran the coax cable inside the pipe. The pipe perforates the roof so the cable has a very short and direct run. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
