[Antennas] Re: Antennas Digest, Vol 7, Issue 7

Tue Aug 17 04:27:13 EDT 2004

Install the antenna in the top 8 ft of a 10ft stick of PVC.Use the grey
colored PVC conduit for UV resistance.Clamp the lower two ft to the chimney
via a Radioshack chimney mount.Fly a flag on top of your new flag pole.You
can even use a pulley for raising and lowering the flag.
