33' is the proper height/wavelength for for most vertical Omni directionals. I doubt a few feet below the 33' will matter much but I'm no expert. Believe it or not my iMax 2000 is as many on this form know is at a whopping 7 ft from feed point to ground. I've mentioned it many times in many different posts. I am hopefully soon-to-be installing it on a 24 ft telescopic Rohn mast. I am assuming and hoping that going from 7 ft to 24 will make a difference. What that difference will be I will not know until I get the job done. I have taken detailed notes on my transmitted and received signals from locals so I can compare any difference between the old height and the new. I would like to listen for you and hopefully be able to make contact one day in the near future. Would you mind giving your handle/call numbers, qth and what channel and mode do you normally operate? I go by one eleven SSB / one eleven food stamp AM in NJ (the pine Barron's) If conditions are very good I will usually try between Channels 21 - 28 AM.
If conditions are there but aren't strong I can be found on sideband. Usually between 27.3950 and 27.5150 LSB. From 27.5250 - 27.9950 USB.
I would love to hear how your setup sounds. Do you go by troubleshooter? And if so where do you operate most of the time?. Give me the details I am definitely looking forward to hearing you and possibly making the contact. 73[ATTACH=full]21203[/ATTACH]Non penetrating roof mount with two five foot masts minus 3 ft for u-bolt mounting. And there you have it. My infamous 7ft off the ground IMAX 2000. It works. It really does!
