When considering adding a portable digipeater to a kit, what does an
antenna mast buy you and what is the relationship between height and

What is antenna height & specifications and equipment specifications
that should be considered for a permanent antenna, centrally located
in the county?
We are in Burnett County, Wisconsin ..... according to the U.S. Census
Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,280 km² (880 mi²). 2,128 km²
(822 mi²) of it is land and 152 km² (59 mi²) of it (6.69%) is water.
There are small elevation changes in the county (800 feet to 1440 feet
above mean sea level) and the land is largely forested.
Many thanx ............. jt
My experience shows that doubling the height is equal to multiplying the
power by 4. This is especially true if you can get above the tree-tops.
Here in the desert, you can really increase the range by adding height.
I bring a 25' pole to mount both the HF antenna on plus the dual band
VHF/UHF antenna.
