Hope you get some ducting.

Now that's an antenna!

Rodolfo Bonzon Jr said...

Very nice ...

Olaf Fichtner said...

Right, Steven Hess​, or we need to make our own with duct tape. There were only two votes for the mountains, so here we are by the sea...

Why are the antennas vertically polarized?

Olaf Fichtner said...

Good question. Either simplicity or the other side is expected to do the same.

But I doubt that a different polarization would change anything. We are simply too low, almost at sea level.

Olaf Fichtner Any luck crossing the pond?

Olaf Fichtner said...

Not yet, rudy b​, so far it's pretty bad, at least in that aspect.
