Channel numbering and frequencies differ in parts of the world.  The UK channels are on different frequencies to the US, for example. Perhaps your Ch 28 is Ch 12 elsewhere.....long shot, I know.

What frequency does the scanner display when it is receiving your transmission on Ch 28?  Check that against this list.

That will confirm if the problem is with the GEs or if the scanner is displaying the wrong Ch number.

Part 15 AM and FM Station Operation / Re: Helical antenna

« on: January 03, 2021, 2205 UTC »

I think the pole is too narrow in diameter for a helical. May just go for a top loaded vertical instead. The inv L I have up works pretty well. A T isn't practical really as the vertical section would not be close enough to my existing ground system.

Part 15 AM and FM Station Operation / Helical antenna

« on: December 31, 2020, 1422 UTC »

Not strictly part 15 but I can't think of a better place to put this question. I'm thinking of constructing an antenna similar to a Valcom helical antenna for MW. I can get a fiberglass pole from Spiderbeam.https://www.spiderbeam.com/index.php?cat=c2_Fiberglass%20Poles.html&XTCsid=a2ffd96b7e87e34e64b1c65f54310ffb They come in various lengths but I think 18mt (60 feet) is about the max I can handle (financially and physically).
Has anybody here had experience in constructing these type of aerials? Any tips appreciated.

Oh,  a happy new year to all here.
