They resonate within a specific frequency range. Discone antennas cover a very wide spectrum of frequencies. It does not matter what position they are placed in since it is an omni-directional antenna. The longer elements are for lower frequencies.

I'd really like to know how they work also. Mind telling where you ordered it? I found theantennafarm best price, just have not done it yet.

The tram 1411 is a very nice antenna but it didn't work for me.
I bought it from buytwowayradios.com
I NOW have a Yagi coming with 11db gain I got off eBay coming,guess I will see if that works.
I'm told I'm getting RF from a cell tower across the field from where I live and a direction antenna is my only hope to receive simulcast in Wichita.
