I currently feed a 108" whip located at the top of my MH over the driver's door.
I am buying a 31' fiberglass telescoping pole that I will in turn attach to my ladder on the rear of the coach.
It appears in scale drawings that I can get about 40-50' of wire in the air with the peak at around 40' and the base around 11' or more.
I know it will favor the slope for directive although I am not sure just how much at this point.
Just something I thought I would try.
Anyone ever tried something like this yet?
