AMSAT Home|
I am interested in any *positive* input (or
constructive criticism) regarding antennas. I plan on ordering my radio
soon (hopefully Friday) and I now need to decide on antennas for 2m and
440. Let me give you some background:
1. The radio I am going
to order is the IC-821 (I plan on eventually getting on the
pacsats)
2. I am somewhat
limited to my antenna installation (i.e.. there are *lots* of trees in the area
requiring a tower of at least 80').This is not necessarily a problem other than
I don't have an 80' tower. Takeoff angle in any given direction is
probably 70 degrees or better.
3. I have been looking
(intently) at the M2 eggbeater antennas with the radial kit.
Looking for some good advice from some of you people in the
know out there. If I haven't provided enough information, I'll be more
than happy to provide more.
Thanks.
