[450] Loops are finally up to height... (pics)

[Bob]

Three constructive criticisms:

1) as long as you have wire ties, the coax "bulges" should be eliminated (at LEAST where in the field of the array)

2) some form of weatherproofing at the connectors will likely prove to be necessary

3) MOST importantly, the radials above the array are RESONANT , grounded, and too close........this will CERTAINLY have a negative effect  on radiation (radiation forced TOWARD the roof) as well as impedance
