Take a look at my CORROSION TOPICS
page. Lots of unfortunate mistakes and cures. Complete with closeups!!!
My primary
VHF-and up
monitoring antenna is an Austin Electronics'
Ferret with their
10db gain mast-mounted broadband preamp. Here is a link to the
Radioware page
describing the Ferret:
The
Ferret is a
9-Band,
commercial grade receiving and transmitting antenna covering
28MHz to 1.8GHz
using an array of center fed, 1/2 wave elements. It is housed in a
lightweight fiberglass "radome", and is ~8 feet tall, with an 18 inch
aluminum mounting extension tube. It has an optional
in-line, mast-mounted, 10dB preamp.
I also have a
Dressler ara900. This is an active
receiving antenna with a slightly different operating range from the
Ferret. It has been succeeded by
the Dressler ara2000, a better antenna
also covering 50MHz-2000MHz (with a much
better: +36dbm 3rd order intercept.) The
ara2000 is shown below, but the ara900
is physically almost identical.
I also have a
Mackay-DymekDA-100-E Active
Antenna that I use primarily for temporary testing of newly
arrived receivers & kits or homebrew projects.
