From the rear of my lot.
Left to right:
- Diamond X-510 2M/70CM
- 40 meter off center fed dipole
- 3 MHz and up MARS dipole |
A closer look at the dipoles.
I will add standoffs to support
the ladder line soon.
|
Mr. Longarm 23' painters pole used
to steer the dipole around my house.
Bottom is attached to my fence
with 1 1/2" EMT pipe hangers.

Top detail of the Mr. Longarm
painters pole.
I like to use Bungee cords
for strain relief.

Top detail of the 3 MHZ diople
center.
Standoff bracket is a Home Depot
shelf bracket.

3 MHZ center insulator is from
DX Engineering.

Satisfies the XYL requirement that
there be no poles in front of the house.
Note the 40 meter dipole leg
resting on the roof

DX Engineering 1:1 10KW balun.
Feedthough panel has been in use
