Finally got my Base all set-up and operational...Put the Mr.Coily Enforcer on the tower yesterday and got it up in the air, just in time for our first Ice Storm of the year...Guess it's going to get a good test on how durable it is when it comes to freezing rain!
Tower is made by Universal, and is a self supporting aluminum tower at 30' with a tilt base, and only weighs 55 pounds!

I'm just glad the computer and radio get along with each other...Was sorta concerned the Amp might not play well with the PC, but no problems...Not even with the wireless mouse or wireless keyboard.

In the processes of changing out the ground plane to a Lightning L4+ quad... Already took the tower down and removed the Mr.Coily ground plane, and added another 10' section to the tower, which will get me up to 40' plus the mast...
Right now I'm waiting on Universal Towers to send me some new 6" mounting sleeves that attach the legs of the tower to the base, so I can get the L4 in the air...Right now it's mounted to a PVC pipe out in the back yard...Being just inchs off the ground, I can still get out quiet well with it down low to the ground!
Weather permitting, hopefully I can get it back up in the air next weekend.

Not at all...The Amp however does bleed into the computers speakers, but that's just because the amp is right under the desk, and the speakers are just cheap Walmart speakers...Now the TV messes with the radio tho. I have a 62" Samsung Plasma in the same room, and when it's on, I get interference on some channels on the radio...Actually there's a little noise from the TV on all the channels, it's just worse on some more than others.
