[450] Improvements.....long Island style.

[Rich]

Here are the before and after picks of the "main stack" here at W2TMA. 

I know the picks aren't very good, but with a camera, Vinnie I am not!

First before....notice how everything is crammed onto 4.5' of mast above the HD-73 rotor.

from top to bottom:

9 El M2 for 2

5 El M2 for 6

11 EL M2 Vertical 440




and then after....now sporting 12' of heavy duty black mast that I got at a garage sale a couple years ago for 1$.

top to bottom:

18EL M2 440

9EL M2 2 Meter

11EL 440 Vertical. 

Missing is the 5 EL 6 Meter, which I had to leave laying on the roof till I have help. Unfortunately I ran out of coax for the new feedline for the little 440 Vertical.
I was hoping to be able to push it up about 2.5' higher, and then have the 6 meter underneath. I may now have to put the 6 meter above it and slide the 440 down a little, since I have plenty of slack on the 6 Meter feedline. Don't know how well the setup will stand those Long Island Summer Thunderstorms, but what the hell !!!
