28.372 and sometimes 28.402. Really though, 28.402 is if a couple of us want to pop up there to get away from the drone of certain politics.
What I'm trying to do though is overcome some geographical issues. Directly south of me the terrain increases in altitude 100' over a distance of 3/4th of a mile. This is also true SSW and SW. The feedpoint of the inverted-V sit up at close to 70' but it's not a true V. It's closer to being a horizontal dipole than it is a true inverted-V in all its glory. I'm good with that one and I'm going to leave it be since it hits the DX good from the West coast when starts rolling, a lot of the time. I still have issues overcoming some stations unless I'm the first one in there before everyone else discovers that the band is open.
I do switch back and forth between the two antennas to pull in stations better and use the one getting a louder signal. All was well and good but now I have something else to experiment with and before I go hoisting sails, that what I call pulling an antenna up into a tree, I'm wondering if this is worth the effort or if the A-99 is a garbage project. I will be adding a heavy gauge wire attached to the base of the antenna where the mounting hardware would usually go and include the dimensions of the base in the length of the wire. Like the dipole it will replace, there will be a rope attached to that wire just as a type of anchor.
So yeah, on local talk, there are some guys to the south that I struggle to hear but guys further away to the east I hear fine. All that being said, not all stations are equal BUT, stations to the south and to the east lose 100' to 200' in altitude because of geography etc, although their decline in altitude is not as dramatic as the hill that is very close to me.
Also this has also made me want to do a mobile set up and go hit a mountain top.
