    we have a smarmy moneybags dude around here who seems to think throwing money at my folded dipole that sits 80' up in a tree, 200' of 450ohm ladderline, and a 9:1 balun at the back window with a wiiiide swr spread will net me better results. problem is im cheap and LMR 600 is not. i still have lower feed loss than that though. if you grab more than 1000' of 450ohm from davis RF it comes out to like 48 cents a foot. including the balun which i bought, im about maybe $200 in on my vertical system here. and its the best one i've had yet. the only people who complain will also say in the next breath that they have an s8 noise level like thats everyone elses problem

    @dadw7og116 24 дня назад

    I've been running a 5 band 4 element, long boom Cubical Quad (ham) antenna for years. The quad design can be more susceptible to weather than Yagis, but the performance improvement more than makes up for the additional risk (I made DXCC in 30 days back in 2000). I don't get ice storms here, but I do get VERY high winds. It has held up well to 40+ mph. But, a tree branch did get stuck in the elements at one point. (Luckily, my tower cranks down and tilts so I can work on it myself) Since your antenna is single banded, that should help in high winds. It is also rotated 45 degrees in roll, which should help with ice loading on the wires. Your weakest link is likely the horizontal spreaders. But if they are beefy, they should be no more prone to ice damage than a Yagi. Good antenna choice. You might even find yourself a longer boom and add a couple more elements!

    • @radioman2602
      @radioman2602 20 дней назад

      I do make sure to point the antenna into the prevailing winds when not in use. I do worry about trees. I got one that I need to lower my tower down. Its a big pine, we got lots of those up here in Maine.

    Quad looks OK. How long is the feedline? Hard to tell but the tower seems to be quite a distance away. But the views from the phone are difficult to discern. I once took a new CB delta quad that cost me 60 bucks and retuned it for 10 meters, put it on a pole with a TV rotor and worked nice DX with a barefoot rig. Actual 10 meters, not the CB version in between no mans land.
