really just depends on how good of coax you got.double sheilded beldon 5,000watt rateing,pl259 ends, and put one up about 50 feet with a low swr you shouldnt have a problem. |

its just an antenna.(damn good one)what causes bleeding is your transmitter being overly modulated in most cases twiked to far by swing kits ect.and the use of very lossy coax cable. this is the cause of most bleeding problems fix this by using a dubble shield coax(beldon 9913)ect.,getting modulation back down to 90-100 percent,good grounding,and keep antenna's away from powerlines/phonelines/cable tv line ect and well above them as well. |

What kind of problems did you have? What kind of SWR do you have on the flat and vertackle sides? |
Taz
| | Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:40 am: |
|
1.1 on both sides, 1.3 at 400 watts the mast was aluminum for one, its 18 feet tall and would fold over.
I got it so just the tip(maybe 4in) is hanging infront of the tower with a different mast and still good swr.
I moved it north north west and its working great on flat side.
Im going to crawl through attic and run verticle coax. I decided to hook old coax up to horiz and new to the vert side. |

Use yahoo messenger and let me know when you'll be vertical and be pointed east Taz. Even if I'm not online I will rec. offline msgs regularly. Hec, I might just hear you yell on 17. I can hear you best when the sun is just over the trees behind my lot. About 6:30-7:30 here (GA) but it varies some, you know.
Take Care,
