Antenna's

The Rover antennas have changed over the years.

Started out with a dual banded  440-144 mag mounted antenna with a vertical 5/8 wave vertical for 6m

Then added a drive on mast and a 3-el 6 meter beam

Then upgraded to a set of 6/144/432 KU4AB Loops when Phil lived outside of Memphis.

Next upgrade was adding stacked loops with phasing harnesses.

Then added a 222 transverter and 222 KU4AB stacked loops.

Then I learned about "Cheap Yagis" and build some out of CPVC, Wood and welding wire and got 1:1 SWR on all antennas 144/432/222

This worked well, upgraded to a Cushcraft 10 element 430 beam

Next upgrade was the Directive System Rover antennas

Purchased the Rover estate from K5UHF and added some stacked M2 HO Loops

I have the option of running the loops and the beams, but end up using the beams to have a little more reach for distant stations such as K5QE that help mentor me in the Roving world.
