  • cantenna vs mag. mount

    This was an eye-opener for me. Today I placed the cantenna attached at 17' onto the 20' collapsable fishing pole. I placed it along side the creek at the marina where I work. The antenna was up about maybe 19 feet above sea level.....some trees in the way (east/west). The other antenna, which was only 15 feet away is a 1/4 wave mag mount attached to the galvanized fence that surrounds the marina pool...also near the creek. It was up about maybe 8 feet above sea level and it too had trees east/west of the antennas location. I don't have an antenna analyzer for the frequencies I'm testing so I'm relying on the measurements from the forum. Well, the fence mounted antenna had a better maximum distance report. This wasn't a real controlled type of test but it still was interesting.
