Coily EXCALIBUR Base Antenna

Roger Dodger said:
Redwing 21 let me add a side bar in testimony to what Mr. Coily experiences regarding a chainlink fence. Years back I had a tower mounted on a custom made base that hinged, allowing me to drop it to the ground, in reality lay the tower on a chainlink fence to work on the antennas and rotor. With the antennas laying horizontal and within several feet of the fence, I'd set the match with little affect to swr from the fence or proximity to the ground. The diffs between full vertical or lying down were minimal and if I wanted to get real picky, I adjusted/compensated the match to show the lowest swr once it was raised and locked in place. So Mr. Coily is not shoveling you a line of BS. It is possible and I'm proof of it as well.
