Finally got it up

Post by FakeJake »

Ooer!
After moving in 10 months ago, I finally have a modest Diamond x50 up. Now I'll be able to have some nice simplex QSOs!

Thanks.

Done by the letting agency’s aerial guy. They let me put it up as long as i used their guy and it wasnt an eyesore.

He was good enough to leave a few feet of coax coiled at the bottom of the pole ‘just in case the pole grows’

Ooer :lol:

Did you get any TVI from this? I’m wondering whether I can put an x50 on top of the pole my TV aerial is on.

It's a great feeling when you finally get it up.

Won't affect his satellite dish.
Or his TV antenna if he's not transmitting.
