base set up.....

[sundance]

hey guys, happy Independence day..my question is would puttting a groundplane up on a pole mounted to a chimney be sufficient for some decent talk range.. we' talkng probably 25-40 feet total..?looking at getting one of those palomar amp/power supply mix and running a mobile off it...still looking at that general lee for a mobile, but might put that one on the house and keeping the cobra 29 classic in the car.suggestions?

HAVE A SAFE 4TH OF JULY, SUNDANCE 832 IN THE GRASS..

Happy 4th to all, you'll talk good on that antenna,

The higher you can get, the better. But if comming off the roof is what you got, its still higher than a mobile ! Hight is might !

I have my A-99 on a ten foot mast on my chimney. The base is at 25 feet. I've talked a whole bunch of skip on it already. It would be nice to go higher, but where it is now is it.
