    Flagpole antenna

    I have to. Absolutely no antennas are allowed. The whip on the car port can't be seen if yer not looking for it.

    Flagpole antenna

    Which one I have narrowed it down to Make a flagpole 24' high out of pvc and have the Imax 2000 inside with the feed point on the ground or a 102" whip on a 4'x6' sheet of metal on top of the carport. They are the only two options I have! Which do y'all think would be better ? Thanks God Bless +

    Can ya explain how to do that. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I already have a 20' telescopic aluminum flag pole. I can't do radials cause they would be seen .. I appreciate all you guys/gals help. I'm used to Missouri and have my Imax 2000 50' up a tree. Bless y'all

    Flagpole antenna

    Around 20' Can I take the top section off and use the bottom two on my Imax 2000? If I still had my antron 99 it would have been perfect. Thanks God Bless

    Flagpole antenna

    no trees. I tried a dipole in the carport and no good. What about the height. The feed point will be near the ground !! I might swap my Imax 2000 for a Antron 99. There is six foot difference. Thanks Bless y'all+

    Flagpole antenna

    Whats y'all opinion about putting the Imax inside a pvc flagpole? The park has no antennas of any kind. Will it tx and rx from inside? I know higher the better but the feedpoint would only be a foot off the ground. Bless yas +
