[Xastir] Portable Digipeater Antenna?

[Jim Tolbert]

When considering adding a portable digipeater to a kit, what does an 
antenna mast buy you and what is the relationship between height and 
effectiveness? 

What is antenna height & specifications and equipment specifications 
that should be considered for a permanent antenna, centrally located in 
the county?

We are in Burnett County, Wisconsin ..... according to the U.S. Census 
Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,280 km² (880 mi²). 2,128 km² 
(822 mi²) of it is land and 152 km² (59 mi²) of it (6.69%) is water.   
There are small elevation changes in the county (800 feet to 1440 feet 
above mean sea level) and the land is largely forested.

Many thanx ............. jt
