Good To Know ENC ! I had some local Op's over the other day , they saw my 27-4 sitting in the box , then told me in the spring time they will help me get it up ! At least I have something to look forward to !

Just clicked the button on one of these yesterday. Hope to put it on a short tower this spring.
Roofers coming next week , so I ordered a Rohn 5' Tri Pod . I figured let him put it up that way I know it's sealed properly . The roofer agreed , Baby steps but I'm getting there !

Let me know when you project to have that beam up and running Leo.
I will need to turn my RF Gain down before you key the mic and start talking.

Did you get this in and hows it looking if you got it up?
Looking at this same 4 element for that NC project.

Not up yet, still getting stuff together. Just ordered some coax for it from Jefa Tech. Supposed to go look at a Tail Twister rotor this weekend. Still have to get the tower up too.
I am tempted to put it together and lay it on the wood pile out back just to see what it does. Haha!
A Tail Twister is a bit over kill dontchya think? LOL
Rt , I guess better safe than sorry ? I have a CDE Rotor , but it doesn't have the Brake , just & oversize TV rotor . It's brand new & I haven't put my 27-4 up yet . We know the antenna doesn't weigh much , but after chatting w/ a few Op's it's the wind that has me re-thinking of using it . Stay Healthy & Safe ! 73 & God Bless . Leo

Yeah, one of our locals has it for sale. The price is just a little more than a new TV rotor, so I figured why not? Haha.
Shade good deal because they are $$$ ! Stay Healthy & Safe ! 73 & God Bless , Leo

I have not put it up yet. Thinking about putting it in place of the TV antenna that we no longer use. It's on a pole going up the side of the house. The house has a steel roof. How close to the roof can it be for good operation? I can't make it a wavelength, thinking maybe 10 feet would be ok? Anyone have any ideas about this?
