[ML-Hams] Getting better line-of-sight at the make shop

[Jeff Cotten]

I thought I would pass this on the makeshop ham people.  These are some
suggestions for what we could use to get better altitude at the make shop.

I'm guessing The easiest \ less likely to get stolen one, is the roof top
mount.  Since we can't drill holes in the building, we'd have to sandbag it
to the roof.

Jeff:

There are roof mounts for masts that rest on the roof and use ballast such
as cinder blocks or sand bags. Usually good for 10 or 15 feet.

Slip up masts can be tied to an eave, or a fence post or something like
that in a non-permanent fashion. A pricey solution for just WIFI.

I think you can find an example or two in the MCM Electronics catalog.
Maybe cheaper on eBay.

Its worth pointing out that a bolt on tripod can also be mounted using
ballast.

Collinear verticals are omnidirectional. Yagis are directive to an angular
sector in front of the small end of the antenna, the angle being determined
by the number of elements.
