Yes, it will work. Just keep in mind that being a horizontal dipole you'll only be transmitting two directions, which will limit your contacts. Then, you also have to consider that the dipole (being horizontal) will have a 20db attenuation due to cross polarization since most other operators will be vertically polarized. This will make little difference during skip openings though.Twink wrote:would this antenna work? i'm trying to put up an antenna at my apartment, but they won't allow any antennas/// i figure i could "hide" this one up there...
