[Antennas] Repeater Antenna

Fri, 3 May 2002 08:53:10 -0700

Gentlemen: After a little testing of our two meter repeater antenna, it
became obvious that it had gone south. No obvious burns or any
indication of structural failure, but SWR had gone way high. Therefore,
we need to select a replacement.

which antenna would you choose and why? We have severe winds at the
site, with modest ice loading. The support is about 50' above ground
(metal windmill tower) and the ground rolls off gently in the 270 degree
area of intended coverage. We run a GE MastrII transceiver, running
about 30 watts out of a 4 cavity duplexer. The previous stacked
collinear antenna covered the area adequately, but we are looking for
the best commercial antenna (within reason price wise) for the site.
You may reply to me directly, or thru the reflector, as you see fit.

YOUR IDEAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE?
