[K3PZN-List] I need assistance in putting up an antenna system.

[Neeriemer, Bill (NIH/NLM/LHC)]

My wife and I tried putting up a 10-meter Ham Stick di-pole, but it
generates way high SWR.

 

Based on what I've read, it is a matter of adjusting the whip rods, but
we've never actually done this type of work before.

 

However, I am mobility challenged, and we need to have several band sets
calibrated.

 

So, I was thinking that we could host an antenna party, and have a couple of
the club members come over, and set it up for us.

 

Of course, we can compensate for your time by feeding you.  

 

Because we are in a mobile home park, and must abide by the landlord's
rules, we are limited in the types of antennas that we can put up.

 

So, we will be going with a buddipole/hamstick system, mounted on a short
mast.  We can't string wires and guys.  No Yagis allowed.

Depending on our financial situation, we could be ready to host the party in
November, but it is more likely to be next spring.

Right now, I am interested in finding out who might be willing to
participate in such a venture.

Thanks
