Re: Which Way To Go... Vintage or New?
Yeah I'm going to refurbish that old aluminum ground plane. It has a small bend in one top segment, and it's missing half of one of the ground planes, but I'm sure I can find something to replace it with. Menards sells round stock aluminum. I guess it's a 5/8 wave because it's about 17' high. Hope it'll take some power, because sooner or later I'm going to through some into it.tim2 wrote:That old ant , will work better than any fiberglass you can get today .Been there done that ..
