I'm about to take the B license exam, but due to limited experience and budget, I have some doubts regarding antennas. I would appreciate any advice from experienced ham radio operators.
I live on the ground floor, and there are many high-rise buildings nearby with numerous charging stations. It's practically impossible to install an antenna on the ground floor due to this. Therefore, I plan to use a pole mount as my primary method. Currently, I am considering either GP or direct feed, but I find that direct feed seems more convenient, although I don't fully understand the performance differences between direct feed and GP antennas. This is causing me some hesitation.
Additionally, there are two other issues.
1. Are there high-voltage power lines in the area near the proposed location for the residential development, and if so, what impact would this have on communication? If there is an impact, what distance should the development be located from these lines?
2. What type of connector does the G90N antenna use? I couldn't find a matching connector when selecting the feedline.
