[EAS] NOAA Weather antenna

[Weiner, Kevin (CCI-Virginia)]

We have many of the Wade antennas, both NOAA/NWS and FM, deployed. These are great professional antennas that will not break the bank.

Please note the impedance of these antennas is 75 ohm. Don't neglect transmission line impedance and loss especially if running a long run, and especially if on the ragged edge of reception. I typically run CommScope P3 625 JCA SM MT. Works great on towers (easy to secure and ground) and very low loss. RG7, 8, 58, 59, 213 NOT recommended (incorrect impedance and/or hard to property secure to tower and ground and/or higher loss). RG11 is ok in a pinch if not going too far.
