You can do this "in the air", if you choose, but you might get wet!



If you need a photo, let me know and I'll post one up here.
Seeing how we're on the subject of 91XG's, though it was a couple years ago I am experiencing an anomaly.

My original XG was on the mast for 4 years without the water relief holes drilled.

I brought it down to repair the reflector I decided to try some DXing and to pair it with another 91 XG. But first, I decided to test them separately and I'm glad I did.

At first I thought it was a ladder blocking signal under the right side so I moved them over to my other mast. Yes, there is still a ladder under the antennas. This one is much lower under the array and more equal between the two antennas.

There's quite a difference in signal strength between what should be equal signals.
