The common opinion so far is to use a single strand of insulated #14 AWG wire, spaced a short distance from the mast, and side of the mobile home. Recommendations have been made to put a portion of the loading coil close to the top hat. I would like some opinions on the type of coil to use. A Solenoid type wound around the PVC mast, or a Spiral type wound around a couple of short cross arms, each placed about 6 inches below the top hat. Is there an advantage of one over the other ?? =20 Andy - KU4XR - EM75xr - Friendsville, TN.
