hello all, i currently have a comet UHV4 antenna feeding an old IC208h, which only does VHF/UHF while the antenna does 10m/6m/2m/70cm...
my plan is to get an IC7100, connect the UHV4 to the VHF/UHF antenna port and a my antennas 4010 EFHW to the HF antenna port.
BUT - I plan to put the balun feeding the EFHW just under the VHF/UHF antenna, attaching it to the tripod the VHF/UHF antenna is sitting on.
that will put 100w of HF 12 inches below the VHF/UHF antenna.... but it's attached to the radio transmitting the HF and thus not listening on VHF/UHF.
so - is this safe, or am I going to fry out my VHF/UHF receiving on the IC7100 when i transmit HF because this antenna can receive 10m or just because it's too close?
(i'm limited on space, going up on my roof involves a LOT of planning for safety and HOA reasons, and my general test isn't for a couple weeks, I'm trying to get ahead of things now).
thanks for any input,
Richard
