[Scan-DC] Stacked dipoles

[W4NNG]

At least w/ digital trunking, most of the stuff I'm interested in, is in the 800Mhz band.  

Been looking for some cheap indoor homebrew antenna solutions and one thought was stacked dipoles stuffed in a pvc pipe.   Like the idea of having it unobtrusivly stuck in the a room coner.  

I tested a single 300 ohm twin lead dipole and it worked better then the whip that came with the -197.    

Before I waste too  much time on the next step, thought I check and see if anyone has any thoughts on what kind of matching gotcha's happen when you try to stack a bunch of them?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Bob
