otadtvman,

So do you have this Fraca antenna? If so, how's its performance?

I just built my own M4 and SBGH and it seems pretty good. Then I got an HD-8800 and it has about the same...

How about measuring RG6 cable? With about a 60ft cable run with combiners, I measured across both ends.

The inner rod measures about 3ohms, which is good.

However the outer conductor (though I...

Another basic question.

If I measure across the terminals of an antenna (Yagi or LPDA, etc)... using DVM, should I get about 0 ohms (closed loop) or infinite ohms (open loop)?
