Hey, I know this is CB territory, but the activity is high and you guys
know
this stuff.
Want to hook up a nice high antenna to allow us to keep in contact with
the kids up
at the cabin. I understand height is almost everything but I can't
find a cheap
5 wattish radio that has a antenna mount and power supply. Is there
one?
I expect the antenna/cable to cost about $200. ??
I also assume, that with an elevated antenna, I'll need a GMRS license.
Any comments welcome. Thanks
What is the terrain like where you wish to do this?
Northern pine forest. Was hoping a nice, very high, antenna at the
cabin could
work in this environment. We have pines, some of the largest pines
around, and
if I could figure out how to get up there, we could get an antenna
"over" the tops
of all the trees in the area. If not, then I'd put it on top of a two
story barn.
