I've decided to make the plunge and buy one of the 8 element active arrays for 160M-40M. Looking at the price for the antenna kit, it's just too much considering the cost of the electronics, so I need to roll my own.
I was thinking of getting the Telescoping Aluminum Tubing that comes in 6' lengths from Texas Towers; .375", 5" & 6.25". If I slide each inside 6", that'll come to a 17' tall element. Is that sufficient height? Would adding another 2-3 feet make any difference with these kind of active antennas? 73, Gary KA1J _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
