I live in an older part of my town, lots are 80 feet wide, my house is 3 stories, I have a deck for fire escape for the 3rd floor, from there I have an Imax with the ground place kit with 30 ft of army surplus aluminum mast. The antenna has a seperate 10 gauge braided wire about 75 ft of it to an 8ft ground rod under the platform up against the foundation. I use 9913 coax. I can run just about anything I want watt wise with no phone calls from the neighbors but to make sure I usually don't exceed 50 watts. I can talk to anybody I hear on SSB from here in NJ to Calif, Washington State, Florida even talk to Europe and South Africa. Guess the antenna height is was gets me out. I have a wireless surround system in the house, wireless phones and wireless intercom for the front door, the radio doesn't bother anything, the only thing I notice is sometimes on a damp night when I key up the motion light on the back deck will come on.

[QUOTE="Tucker442, post: 366236, member: 15527"] I live in an older part of my town, lots are 80 feet wide, my house is 3 stories, I have a deck for fire escape for the 3rd floor, from there I have an Imax with the ground place kit with 30 ft of army surplus aluminum mast. The antenna has a seperate 10 gauge braided wire about 75 ft of it to an 8ft ground rod under the platform up against the foundation. I use 9913 coax. I can run just about anything I want watt wise with no phone calls from the neighbors but to make sure I usually don't exceed 50 watts. I can talk to anybody I hear on SSB from here in NJ to Calif, Washington State, Florida even talk to Europe and South Africa. Guess the antenna height is was gets me out. I have a wireless surround system in the house, wireless phones and wireless intercom for the front door, the radio doesn't bother anything, the only thing I notice is sometimes on a damp night when I key up the motion light on the back deck will come on.
