I'm in a rural area, Steve. Neighbor across the street has a 100' antenna with no complaints. My main problem is, "where to go to even get educated about costs and technical expertise to put up a similar antenna?" I'm aware of needing to use the best coax I can afford and issues like grounding, etc.. I think the closest two-way radio shop I can walk into is like 400 miles away. Dave WRMA 874 -

I have a 35' TV tower I could use to mount my antenna, but I'm wondering... Would I be better served by a taller tower? I live in relatively flat Southern IL. (And trying to find anyone locally here to lean on for "Elmer" advice is difficult.) I like what I see in this Wouxun KG100G repeater setup and would jump in with both feet, were I not afraid I'd be pouring money into a hole. Any advice appreciated.
