Walt won't be using an ALA100, righty?
So should we ignore the antenna, orientation and attenuation aspects and just comment on connectivity?

Uhm.... Walt?

We have all kinds of ideas for antennas - but likely N or NW FLAG OR KAZ.

Iâm more interested in whether you can connect and how fast the connection is.

Thanks Charles.

Good to see that we've opened the flood gates on this topic, James.

Rodent bites have never been an issue at my coastal location in
western Canada, and I forget that it can be a big issue elsewhere.

OT: It's not like we don't have rodents, but perhaps they're all
fat and happy from the continual feeding they get here from little
old ladies of all ages and as many genders as floats your
boat....they think they're feeding just the fluffy squirrels and the
cute little chickadees.

The day I saw, in broad daylight, six large rats working a bird
feeder a few doors down made sure that I was never going to feed the
wildlife, no matter how senile I became. On the other hand, no
rodent bites on the coax....

best wishes,

Nick

I use rg6 flooded for all my low band receive antennas. I usually get it
from dx engineering. I have had very good success with it in the midwest
buried and just on top of the soil. The flooded capability has mitigated
small rodent bites. Some of the antennas I use it with are: 4 square, k9ay,
beverage, bog, and dhdl.
Hope this helps. It is not cheap, however.
