I wanna set up a base now I have enough radios to do it, buy Mr Coily good to go Right now I have a old Volvo fiberglass antenna setting on 3 poles 15ft with coax going threw my window so I have a load when Im working on these things

Using a dummy load would probably be better when working on them. You get a more reliable load. jmo

Hey Jess...what happened to that big beam some years back ?
I'm feeling extreme loss over my Quad left on the Island..HA !

I don't see anything wrong with antenna experimenting, been there, done that. I'm working on a good dual band VHF/UHF ham project now.

Just set up a vertical bent L dipole a few weeks ago mainly with extra parts I had laying around. Not expensive only have it at 15 feet using two 102 inch whips and springs for the legs. Works well for me. Going to put up a horizontal dipole with sale design in the future so I can use a switch to change between the vertical or horizontal. Wanting to be able to hear JJD from just south of Pittsburgh.

The weather finally took over my build, but if you are looking to get one already built, try Lightning Antennas.com

I appreciate the info on the Quad manufacture, I've never heard of this maker, only Cubex Quads.
I've always wanted to give one a try. That and a Log Periodic.
