85 miles. sure if its 180 ft in the air. The dipole is the high vhf.

You could hook it up the same way as the ufo one and compare the receive power.

“maybe these wings make it more omnidirectional” 😂

You should sweep it with a VNA and see how it behaves? If the relay bypasses the pre-amp when its not powered, you ought to be able to sample its characteristics.

Doesn't look like a filter. Looks like a balun found in many TV antennas.

very unusual and very interesting. I haven't seen that type before.
