[PVRCNC] Flagpole antenna

[Bill Axelrod]

Most of you know that I live in a very restrictive HOA neighborhood here in
Pittsboro and I use a flagpole antenna.  I recently upgraded my 20 ft
flagpole to 24 ft.  Makes a difference.

I still have my original 20 ft flagpole antenna hiding under the house.  I
have no need for it - can't have two flagpoles to run SO2R.

If anyone knows of someone who may be a new ham but one with no HF antenna,
they could have that 20 ft antenna.  All they would need to do is come
over, help me disassemble it so it would fit in their SUV or pick-up, or
whatever and take it home to install it.

If that person happened to be a PVRCer, so much the better.

How good is it?  Compared to a larger antenna it is lacking.  If you have
no antenna restrictions you can do much better but not for my cost (free
free free).

FWIW, I got a clean sweep in the 2019 CW Sweepstakes and over 1,000 Qs in
the 2020 ARRL DX contest with it.  Yeah, I am patting myself on the back
and tooting my own horn.
