I'd like to get a feel for what Islanders have for antennas.
Please select from the poll choices and then give a brief summary of how you feel you do when it comes to working stations, both domestic & DX.
For example: "Don't seem to have much trouble working continental USA, but Europe and Pacific are issues."
Or: "Near top of Honor Roll. There's almost nothing I can't work."
Amp, or not?

Too bad there is not the option to choose two. IE: 2 or more 35 to 80 feet and a 10m ant 9 feet above a structure which starts at 10 above ground.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

I thought about allowing more than one choice, but with 10 choices, I figured that would be a bit too much.Originally Posted by KG4CGC

Understood. I like antennas. Always have. Beautiful addition to any home. It just isn't a home without an antenna or two. I feel bad for all the people who have to go through life without ever knowing the joys of antennaism.
What? Yes. I'm totally serious.

Mobile :: Various Ham Sticks, single trunk lip mount..
Two wire antennas (40m dipole, G5RV jr.), three VHF verticals (6m, 2m, 220 MHz), one UHF (70 cm) vertical and a 10m Moxon. All but the UHF vertical are home brew. Also a Cushcraft R8 HF vertical but it's yet to be assembled and erected.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
A 460' random wire that peaks at 80' in height.
A 125' random wire peaking at 85'.
20m doublet dipole that is sitting vertical right now until I repair the loose leg. One end at 80', one at 30'.
Antron A99 for 10meers.
Giant metal building as counterpoise and ground.
Took all the VHF/UHF stuff down and using small outdoor amplified TV antenna for the scanner.
There is a 13 element 2m monobander sitting in a room and a 4 element 2m mb'r that you could hold in your hand sitting in the same room.
Not even going to mention the 6 element FMBCB antenna I use almost daily with a Yamaha CT-410II.

2 HF verticals, 1 wire, 1 V/UHF vertical up. 2 HF verticals (1 in need of repairs, 1 just for parts), a new-in-the-box VHF vertical, & the remains of a Mosley beam in storage.

I have a single antenna, but two wires on it. Inverted V fan dipole, at the peak of my roof.
