Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit at your antenna and see what it ‘sees’?  Well, this evening I attached a camera to my antenna and shot the following short video as the mast was raised and rotated.

The video starts with the antenna pointing at 45 degrees.  Once elevated its rotated to the following directions where it stops momentarily: North, West, South, then back around to East, South, back to North then to 45 Degrees before the mst is finally lowered again.

What this little experiment shows is that the horizon looks pretty flat in all directions – no big hills evident.  It also gives a good feel for how well the antenna clears the surrounding houses.
