[BC] Stealth antennas

[Bailey, Scott]

Take the flagpole and build a unipole on it.  Make those standofsf go
out at least 2 1/2 to 3 feet. Standoffs to hold the wires would take
some heavy duty fiberglass rods. You might get some bandwidth back then.

In an imperfect world, a flagSTAFF is better than no radiator at all. It
can 
be made to work with varying degrees of degradation...much depends upon
how 
much money one will throw at it and how low one is willing to go with
the 
level of acceptance.  Minimum radiation
standards...ok...bandwidth....not 
ok.

Give me a fat, 42 inch face tower any day. I will make that one sound
good 
without much trepidation....or give me a Franklin like 650....but I
don't 
think that is likely anymore.

Hey Gary,
   I've seen, and you have to some stations using flagpoles as AM
radiators. I would imagine the bandwidth doing that isn't that good...or
is it o.k.?

No flying the flags at half mast would require moving the array to a
ship.
