When you live in the HOA world there is not much antenna work to be done, but I have decided to move my 5btv vertical from the side of the house to a flagpole configuration in the front yard. I hope this will work a little better with a bit more wide open space. I have the base set and radials cut but due to rain not much else will happen outside for a day or two.
So will move inside and work on the antenna, I have removed all the hose clamps and replaced with self tapping screws, this will make the antenna more ridged a better support the PVC pipe that will turn it into a flagpole. Well I got all the spacers on the antenna that makes it fit the pipe nice and tight...and low and behold I had a break in the weather this afternoon and it is done......seems to work as well as any trap vertical so here it is....U.S. Navy flag under Old Glory....73
