Where not to install a antenna


Cant say I would be worried about geting shocked but the interference would be another thing. These guys should know those wires are insulated and the chance of geting a shock would be slim.
 
Up here the first time the power company meter reader came by the owner would be getting a note and a warning including an offer to remove it for him. AFAIK it is against regulations to do what he did.
 
Can't say I've done the exact same thing, but I do have to say I've probably done things about as 'un-smart'. Some times because I just wanted to see what would happen (yeah, right). Other times cuz I didn't have any other choices. (Happily, I can say those thingys were later changed.) Not the worst choice in the world, but then...

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
