[TVARC] Flagpole antenna choices for HF

[tim]

Hello Rick,

 

One other option that I have come across is a Cushcraft 5BTV inside a 3 inch
PVC pipe with flag hardware.  The big issue I see with this is the size of
the cover over the mounting bracket.  They used a 5 inch plastic rain gutter
to cover it.  I have also considered doing the same with my Hygain 12AVQ but
it suffers from the same mounting issue.  

 

There are probably others looking for outdoor antenna solutions so please
pass along any off list responses you get.

 

The TVARC PVC flag pole looks interesting but I have doubts about its wind
survivability.

I'm planning on installing a flag pole antenna this summer when we have our
landscaping upgraded.

Which version would you recommend?

 

I've been looking at:

1)      ZeroFive antennas

2)      Grayline

3)      Actual metal flagpole in PVC insulated base

4)      Home made PVC flagpole on TVARC site

 

I plan to use a remote tuner at the antenna.

Thanks for your input.
