    Hi everyone, here's an update. I did install the Cobweb in the back yard but I'm waiting for my remote coax switch since my 2-inch incoming conduit is full, so I need to optimize it first. But I did some test with the coax through the windows and it's not too bad, not as good as my 2 elements Yagi at 3 times the height, but still very good. Stay tune for the next video!

    Can you put a a figure on that "not as good"?

    About 3 to 4 dB, from what I saw quickly doing my test, which is not bad considering the height difference. Also the signal was coming from the south and the antenna is north of my house, this is not optimal. Stay tune for the full video review. If it was not too much trouble I would install the Cobweb antenna on top of the tower for a test. 73 Pascal VA2PV

    Thanks Pascal, certainly "not bad considering".
