I Recently Bought A Moonraker 80m - 6m Antenna, Thinking I Could Mount It Onto The Same Conduit Pipe
I recently bought a Moonraker 80m - 6m antenna, thinking I could mount it onto the same conduit pipe that I mounted my 2m antenna on. What i learned is that the conduit pipe is in no way suitable for a large, heavy antenna, and could break under the antenna's weight. Guy wires are also a must with the Moonraker.

Began a little project. No amateur radio license required for this one. Whatever could it be? Hint: 900mhz
Frames completed after 17.5 hours.
Listened in on 20 meters for most of the day and heard a fine young ham making some great contacts.
Got it updated and connected to my phone but it's the only one in the area. Need to build a mesh
My homebrew 1/4 wave vertical antenna was damaged and I've had a hard time resoldering the main element back on, sooooo I'm thinking of a J-pole made from copper piping. In the planning stage just now but hopefully within a week I'll start assembly.

My daughter and I successfully sent and received test texts to one another once everything was setup.
