First Post!
So, I'm taking the test next week to get my HAM license and I'm looking for places to put a VHF antenna for my home base.
I'm looking at this tower that's already installed to my house and I'm wondering if it will work. I currently use the TV antenna. The top part of the tower is a little bent from wind so I'm going to replace it from another pole that my neighbor gave me. I'm not exactly sure but I believe it's a 30' tower and I want to mount the VHF antenna above the TV antenna.
So will this work? My only other option is to find a tripod base to mount to my roof; or mount it to the chimney.
(in case you're wondering the lower antenna on the tower is for our wifi receiver.
My neighbor is really into HAM radio and he has a huge tower in his back yard (probably 250'). I believe he owns the repeater for our county's SKYWARN frequency.
Thanks!
