(meteorobs) Blue Whizzer

[HEADLIGHTS Studio]

If there are Analog TV Stations still within range of your location, your
situation in an apartment may be unworkable. TV Stations 2-6 are in the 4
Meter band. This means you need a 4 Meter Yagi for over the horizon Forward
Scatter detection. This band is subject to terrestrial Noise, especially
from Computers, necessitating placement of the Antenna more than 50 feet
away from your and all other Computers. Being in an apartment and a high
density City, may interfere with you from receiving low level 4 Meter
Signals because of noise and lack of antenna gain.

Hi Paul:


>  More antenna gain would never hurt.

yeah, but I live in an apartment and to try putting a Yagi up..
yeahhh..owner would not like that.  Took a lot to get black plywood up to
stop light pollution when I use my telescope.

Plus here in halifax we have crap to buy any antenna.. either they are sold
out or you have to order them in!

Clear skies
