Building a red system

[cutty]

Thank you. Solid wire only, no twisting, as short as possible. I put my H-Field amp in a 1.5" junction box and then used reducers to get down to 3/4" for the antennas.





I just got the shielded CAT6 cable in this week. I finally got the antennas in the attic so they are no longer in the computer room. While I am excited about that I don't think the E-Field antenna is going to stay where it is. Right now it is attached to a rafter in the attic. I do not have a metal roof and while I am sure that helps, everything I have read on the forum says I want air below the E-Field probe.

I think there are 3 easy places to put it. Well not easier than leaving it where it is, but not that bad. I have a center ridge vent and I could put it directly underneath it. That would put it at the highest point possible but still be protected from the elements. My house is a split foyer. Half of the basement is underground in the front of the house. I am on the ridge of a hill and the back yard is level with the bottom of my house. I mention this because I could send the wire for the E-Field out a vent under the overhang in either the front or the back of the house without too much trouble. The front of the house is closer to the ground but would be a shorter run of coax. The back of the house is farther away from the ground but would be a longer run.

I could also just see how it performs as it is for a little while.

The E field probe must be VERTICAL... and for best results, should be OUTSIDE, away from structures, and noise...
