Ok I am looking at doing a Budget base setup.
Looking at TV antenna stuff, and a Hy-Gain Dual Band Beam ..
Rotator $59.00, I know I will have to manually adjust during the pass but its cheap.
TV Antenna Mast 40 foot, I need to replace the one on the side of my house as its been there for at least 40 years.
It will be 35' to the rotator with an additional 5' to the beam.
The Hy-Gain Dual Band beam, $89.95 its small and shouldnt overload the rotator.
I'll set the beam at 30 degrees elevation, probably wont be the best at super high or low passes but after looking around the net thats what most folks are doing.
So is this gonna work well enough for the cost involved ???
