Been worried about putting up my G5RV out of worry that the landlord might bitch...
Before I first moved in, we discussed me putting up an antenna so I could get on the radio, and she mentioned
using the utility pole next to the trailer etc, but she wasnt too keen about attaching anything to the trailer.
(Not the same one I moved into....)
I think OTARD may be the answer...
A couple of the trailers have dishes mounted....
Everybody says that this is a dead area for OTA. Even those sites that try to predict reception predict few if any stations available...
I now have about 60 feet of channel master mast, and I just ordered 18 inch spaced heavy duty wall mounts, and one of those 160mi amplified Yagi Antennas from E-Bay..(Should be here around tuesday)
I doubt if anybody tried spending the bucks to try to pick up OTA around here...
Lexington is about 80 miles away as the crow flies, and Knoxvile is almost as far....
Just happen to use the 2 legs of the G5RV as antenna guys....
Whudda Ya Tink?
Antenna
Brackets
Mast
I think I came up with a solution

Is it just me, or does "Googling Yourself" just not sound right?..

The neighbor split up with her boy toy, and he moved back to Cincinnati.
Gotta find somebody else to put it up...
