Receiving antennas
Here are the receiving antennas setup on the house. They are mainly used for the scanners, ADS-B decoder and APRS.
To the left is the log periodic CLP-5130 antenna for 105 - 1300MHz. It is on a Yaesu rotator.
In the middle is an array of 3 patch antennas - L-COM RE1208P-SM, 8dBi, 1.2GHz, used on the ADS-B decoder for commercial aircraft. The array is going through a combiner then a pre-amplifier before connecting to the decoder.
To the right is a Diamond vertical X510HDM 2m/70cm, 8.3/11.7dB gain, 17.2' tall. Currently this is used for the APRS IGate but will be added on the scanner line this summer.

VHF - UHF Amateur radio antennas
For the VHF and UHF amateur radio bands, I have a Diamond X510HDM with a Cushcraft A148-10S Beam 144 - 148MHz, 13.2dBi. My Cushcraft is currently not operation since the relay does not have the control wire connected yet. A HAM 4 is used as a rotator. The antenna are mounted on a telescopic tubular tower, capable of 56 feet. On the picture, it is raised at 38 feet.
