Equipment / Re: The Sony FX-300 Jackal: AM / FM / TV / Cassette REC from late 70's.

As a kid I was lucky enough to be able to use my parents Sony TV (about a 6 inch screen) AM/FM radio and cassette player. I used to lay in bed at night tuning in distant radio stations. TV in Australia at the time (early 1980s) closed down at midnight in our area.

Equipment / Re: Mounting a Station Master above a Moxon

Both antennas are for 11m. I want to know if i can mount the station master directly above the moxon the way it is done it the pic. If not, what do I use to make the SM higher? Can I use aluminum, poly pipe or something else?

Polar bear: You really didn't understand the question? Wow. It wasn't that herd to read. Maybe you should fix your chrystal ball.

Equipment / Mounting a Station Master above a Moxon

I want to mount a half wave MK1 Stationmaster on the same tower with my Moxon. What material do I use to mount the stationmaster, that will not affect the SWR of either antenna. I think the SM should be at least 9ft (quarter wave length) above the Mox, Is that right? What have you guys used? What is best? I was thinking some kind of poly pipe. Am I overthinking it? Can i just use aluminum without causing problems? I also found the pic below on the Maco site. This guy has put the vertical directly above the beam. Can I do that? It would be much easier
