looks great John...what range does it have, or is that down to the power you send to it?

Dave...
It's supposed to give twice the signal out compared to the simple dipole I was using before,
That does not mean twice the area but it does mean more.

At the moment I'm putting out +/- 200W Effective Radiated Power at the antenna.
I'm getting +/- 7km in all directions  :thumbup

It will take 1000w of power which would give +/- 2000W Effective Radiated Power at the antenna.
Which would get me a few more km

That sounds good John. Are you now getting a good few listeners compared to where you were before?
