Hi Jim;
I thought the flag pole idea was quite interesting particularily
in that I have a large empty front yard but the back yard is
useless because of wires going diagnally across. Didn't like the
flag pole price but the fact that it was self supporting was
nice. Talked with Tom and still don't really understand the
tuning arrangement. I have an external s g c tuner so that's not
a problem. Apparently they don't use traps or capasetors just
some kind of transformer at the base. Wonder what the story is
with this magical transformer? It sounds to easy which bothers
me. Does yours work on 40 meters and how is the noise level?
Also how much of a construction project was it? Tom seemed to say
that you don't have to do anything particular with the antenna
when setting it up to tune it. As for those radials, what length
did you use? I couldn't manage 32 feet but he said that 12 would
work. Any info would be interesting.

Richard, I'm using a zerofive 29 foot vertical. I have it ground
mounted
with 4 radials. It works fine for me, although it does require a
tuner.
The tuner in my rig will tune it on almost all places except the
low end of
6 meters and 40 meters. I'm not sure if it'll tune it on 80
either. I use
an MFJ 993B external tuner that's able to tune it.

Subject: antennas
Hi;
Thought someone mentioned zero five antennas here a while back.
Wonder what type you are using? Had a chat with Tom but still
rather perplexed.
