The tram is for local. But will not reach my people at 10 to 12 miles. Flatish land here with spotty thick woods between us. I am hoping the yagi will reach. If it does then I will try to test before leaves break out in full and then in july or august do test again to see loss. I will use one antenna at a time. and my people are all in a 40 degree area which is very lucky for me I think.
Thank you Sir. Greatly appreciated. I will be switching back and forth until I learn more. And just some FYI. When I test I put a voice activated recorder near radio to listen to when I return. But you all probably already know that.
Peace, and thanks again. and...So much to learn.
I would like to put a Tram 1486 vertical antenna on top of a Dx Engineering fiberglass mast and put a 5 element yagi 3 to 4 feet below. (or more if necessary).
Has anyone tried this and does it work. So much to learn. Thanks for any input.
