That is NOT a ground. It is in a flower pot. You must place the spike in the earth not a flower pot!!!😮
Sorry i missed it live. I am on call and was working
No worries!
What would be the radiation pattern using your gutter as the antenna? Just curious is it safe?
Thank you
Michael
Curious about this as well
why not try to connect to the flag pole?
Connect this match and 8' wire to it? The flagpole is my main HF antenna.
@@prephampaul I was asking if you did it was a 20-30 foot pole. just seems like it would make a good antenna.
@@Outcast.Horizon Not sure I fully understand. Use this antenna on a 20'pole then attach to gutter with a longer wire or just run the match with a wire from a 20'pole? The antenna was made for HOA use to not be visible and for ease in setup I think. I'm sure if I put a longer wire on the match it would work great, similar to an EFHW.
I imagine that this setup could work with voice also? Just not as far. I have the same match as you do.
Yes I have made a few with voice, it seems to be good for NVIS as well, although I couldn't find anyone on 80m to test that on later at night. It isn't a hexbeam for sure but it does work for someone who can't do anything else.
Whats your ALC reading having the volume (PWR) set to max in WSJT-X (bottom right of WSJT-X). I have to adjust mine to only just move the ALC, never flat out?
Hey Colin, I have my ALC at about 1. I've set the alc in the sound card settings in Win10. I don't know if that's better, worse or equal but at output level 43 in windows it sets me to 0-1 ALC.
