The Guy across the street. Said i could have the A99 on his roof. The thing is just hooked up on the side of his house. I can't put a tower up. Will it work if I hook it onto the old tv antenna. Not in use just sitting up against my house. I want to mount it back on the roof.
 

if you mean the mast for the tv antenna it should be no problem . take the tv antenna off if youre not using it .

You could even shove it up in a tree if you wanted kasper , I've seen those damned antenna's mounted and placed in some of the strangest ways possible and they still worked and got out pretty damned good. ;)

kasper,
leave the TV antenna on the mast.

leave enough mast above it to mount the antron, and install on the roof.

the TV antenna will act as a groundplane, not a great one, but a groundplane nonetheless.

also, anyone running an antron 99 should be using a choke/coax balun at the base of the antenna.

look it up online, they are easy to make, and will really help with TVI from this antenna.

later all,
LC
