My E-field antenna setup - TomVal - 2020-10-11             Hi, got my E-field antenna setup yesterday. I clear coted the circuit board with a couple of clear varnish for extra protection against the elements. I protected the connectors with masking tape during the spaying. The antenna is attached to a antenna pole on a steep high ground close my house. RE: My E-field antenna setup - mendip_defender - 2020-10-11 I plan to get some stuff for sealing the boards before sending them outdoors I think its called an Acrylic Conformal Coating. RE: My E-field antenna setup - Rejean - 2020-10-23 I like the setup. RE: My E-field antenna setup - cutty - 2020-11-05 I'm not a big fan of metal poles or clamps for the efield assy.... especially if a metal mount is grounded, and/or there is electrical noise in area. Remember, it functions best on capacitance between probe and earth. Mine are on fiberglass, simply taped to the mast. https://forum.blitzortung.org/showthread.php?tid=2749 Suggest use "Stuf" inside the coax connector.
