Lil'Yeshua, I don't think there is one thing you've suggested in all of this thread, that is likely to make enough difference that really matters...just using your radio.

Using PVC sounds like a bad idea to me. Go to your nearest home supply, take a 10' x 1/2" piece of PVC at one end and see how much support that will be with it hanging out there in no where. It is just more crap up there to catch wind.

You have your antenna up now. It's time to do some testing with as many local stations as you can contact, without skip rolling. Take all the bells and whistles you have in line and in mind off your test antenna. Test and record, make a single change, test and record again. Record your results in some logical manner so you can come back latter and tell again what it all meant.

Then do something different and repeat above.

Every time you make a change or get a new idea you can, may, or likely will see some differences, and that can and will confuse any analysis you might make if you are not very careful and make really good notes.
