CHAMELEON EMCOMM-II-V2

[dbljay7542]

Good day all,
I purchased the CHAMELEON EMCOMM-II-V2 antenna. I am thinking about stringing it above my house. It will be about 25 feet above the ground and about 5 feet above the roof line. Does anyone see issues with this? Any suggestions? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and 73 all!

There’s a good chance you will get noise from inside the house. There are so many electronics inside houses these days it’s just likely. I found a regular old dipole to be one of the easiest and best performing antennas you can put up. Less noise, less common mode and more power getting out into the air. I don’t have any trees so I cemented a metal fence post into the foundation and then used pipe to pipe clamps to make a twenty foot mast. A 40 meter antenna, even at this low height works better than any end fed I ever tried.
