[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 917929, member: 312276"] As I know from sun-outage test, my CM120 is located too deep inside balcony and at least 1/4 part of antenna is not working, so performance of system is much worse than it could be. I have an idea to make pole longer and also add possibility to make it plumb. I have several pipes in the garage, one has 114mm diameter and another one 75mm. So idea is (nothing new here) to cut some 40cm of 114mm pipe and weld to it 6 nuts. To upper end of this pipe weld piece of 75mm pipe (have no idea yet how to do it technically but should figure it out). So, then this construction will go on top of existing pipe. Sounds easy, but.... performance.... will take some time. :oops: Another option wold probably be to take lots of wooden parts and put them together on top of the existing platform and on top of that sandwich screw existing pole. Will go for option #1, unless there is better way to which I do not know. :( [/QUOTE]
