So I managed to work out a deal with my landlord to mount my DPD 1090Mhz antenna on the roof of my apartment building. I am already up 70 Feet on the 7th Floor, and the apartment is 9 stories tall.
From the middle of the roof where I will be mounting it, and down the side of the building to my floor and into the apartment, I need about 85 Feet. Is LMR-400 ok for this kinda length/run.
I have great reception now, but since ADS-B is line of sight, I am totally deaf to the east...(I face west)
The best part of this is that I will have a clear view from my antenna now to CYYZ and I can see the tower.
I will be up a total of 110 Feet
Should be GREAT for ground returns and I highly doubt anyone else in the area has an antenna up as high as this!
feedback......
regards,
Jason
