This thread got me thinking of my DB224. thats me holding it.
I measured the spacing from DE to director this morning and its a just under 14"
I don't know what freq it was delivered on but most of the antennas I acquired in a lot were on 70 MHz with the exception of one on 39 something MHz.? to alter the spacing I would need to cut and weld onto the boom, its all one piece.? ? ?
I was planning to use it at a site with a bare 300ft tower, it was at 3800ft ele and was pristine (meaning low noise floor) and perfect for 6M.
It had served a religious TV station that went dark and the site owner gave an OK for me to go up on 6M.
Along came some enterprising soul that installed an Internet distribution antenna and was selling service to residents of the small city below the site. He was going in and out sometimes several times a day and annoyed the old timer who controlled site access and the owner finally said that was enough, no hams allowed!? ?
