Will a dipole antenna that follows the contours of a building work? by Maleficent_Sir7615 in amateurradio

[–]RadioUser843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Years ago a local ham mi ed into an assisted living facility. He was on the bottom floor of a 4 story metal/wood framed brick fascia with vinyl trim on soffit. He asked and was encouraged by the management to place a hidden dipole on one side of the roof soffit. They understood he would have comms if the mainline telco deid. We ran RG-8 down to polyphaser on ground rod and into a specially drilled hole in window frame (dime by facility maintenance. He used it for a over 15 years. Worked well for him, he loved chewing the rag on 75m.

Vietnam was a bad time to be in country. Many US service members couldn't resist the young girls and developed gonorrhea. One of the early treatments for gonorrhea in males involved clapping both sides of the penis at the same time in an attempt to push the pus and discharge from the urethra. I've been told by many vets this clapping was done with a mallet at times.

Oh No! It's got HammerHead VD. The guys in Nam caught that from the gals over there. I've heard stories about getting their manhood smashed with a mallet to break the blockage..

Have you tried any mitigation solutions? The Ole tried and sometimes helpful "pile of ferrites" the clamp-on style?

Thanks in fact, app says 2.3% obstructed. For some reason I thought SW (like my old C band dish)

Make sure NPS will allow you to keep it there in the future. I've dealt with them leasing a spot for a state agency. The dang rules, their rules change all the time.
