Thinking more about a base station. I'm in a pretty good spot with the only blind area being the top of a peninsula to the west. The blind area is from approx. 200° to 280°. And I sit on top of a hill. Not much I'm going to be able to do about the blind spot transmitting on simplex. But honestly the rest of the way around the compass has pretty good line of sight down the coast and inland to the foothills north of downtown L.A.
I happen to have an unused flag pole from a project I never finished. I haven't measured it but I figure it's about 15' and made from aluminum. Properly set in cement, would this make a good mast?
