Awesome Tom. Think I'll do it. I hope it will hold up with our winds here. I guess were fixing to find out.
I'll let you know. I don't have a good all band outside yet anyway so it's go to be better than what I have.
Wow 40' fed with LMR400.. I bet that LMR400 was a pretty penny ! Thanks Tom.
I think I will feed it with RG-8. That should be better than the RG-58 right?
