Relocation of the cobweb antenna and mast
Вставка

- today i got some T&K brackets and i made a more permanent home for the cobweb.
the pole that i tried to get out the ground stayed where it was in the end as it would not come out the ground, so i went to my local scaffolding company and asked them for one.
here is a link where i got the brackets from

hello mate i have just put a cobweb up the 7 band one from poland and i have had australia 3 times this week brazil but its only 20ft at the moment waiting for better weather to put it 45ft up on a 20ft alloy scaffy pole on the roof but getting good reports on it now but i imagine it will be better up high and not sure thou how strong they are from m7byf
They are quite strong im sure as long as your mast can take it they will handle 100mph winds. Mines about 20/30ft in air and does well. The polish one is really good
i live on the side of ashhurst beacon im 500ft asl and at the top of the beacon its 750 asl and we get some strong winds but my 10m 3 elerment yagi was ok in 4 yrs up there but ill hold you to that and put it up in the summer but great antenna @@M0KNM-Amateur-Radio
Solar panels are a problem have same install
I dont seem to notice anything with my own solar system, i can isolate the 240v side and don't notice any difference, that said I'm surrounded by them so may not see any difference anyway

What size scaffolding poles did you use? I’m looking at doing the same with my cobwebb and I didn’t realise that there are so many different diameters!
The main mast is not a scaffolding pole, i got it from someone at my local club they are 3 section of poles that slide inside each other then bolted together making the mast approximately 8m high
ok but a rubbish in the wet in the uk thats a lot of rain
Its not bad in the wet, ive had no VSWR issues between wet and dry 73 M0KNM
Get it higher mate well above the roof will help mitigate noise
I wish i could, if i got it up higher then i would not be able to tilt it over
@@M0KNM-Amateur-Radio that's a shame
Is this a single wire Cobweb it does sound very noisy with background noise.....did you manage the test without the panels on
Single wire? Im not sure what you mean, if you mean one wire going around the cobweb then no, it's effectively a 6 wire fan dipole folded round, yes i did test it with the solar panels turned off but that noise is still there, might be picking up from another house. 360° around me I'm surrounded by solar panels so might be picking up from another house will need to do more investigation with the noise. 73 de M0KNM
@@M0KNM-Amateur-Radio There are two types of Cobwebb the single wire version and a twin speaker wire version
Its the twin speaker wire version
@@M0KNM-Amateur-Radio They are usually really quiet....hope you sort the noise ....maybe your next video
I have today turned off all power to house and the noise is still there so picking up from another house. I will have to get hold of a SW receiver and go around having a look see what i can find.
