LOL, got the silver rod second hand, it needs rotating! i might even put bamboo inside it to stop the bend in it. works quite well i have heard. I have a 2ft square steel grid with four 9ft lengths of coax connected on each side and stretched out in a straight line accross the grass when used in the garden, When i use it on the roof it sits on a 6x4 stainless steel sheet on the top of the dorma window, the second option is great and works well but i have had great results in the garden too. Ill try to get some better pictures soon but its raining now! |

Glad to hear the balun arrived safe and well and that you're happy with it. It'll go a treat with the silver rod and should be a piece of the proverbial to fit. Bloody impressed with the scaffolding though. . . . Most people hang their arse to the wind on top of a shakey ladder to put up an aerial, but not Firetrap, he gets a full-blown scaffolding rigged up! How "kewl" is that! LOLPsssst. . . when the scaffolding goes, hang onto a few of the long poles . . . they're great as masts ![]() |
