So hows the quality? Does it appear to be built strong to last like its older twin brother the original Penetrater?
 
When he say's he's mowing the lawn, he means he's chopping the back 40, drying raking and baling...:eek:...he's gonna be a while.
 
looking forward to your pics to see how it compares build wise to the the original :D
 
Hope its well made. I would love to put a ground plane up also but the wife would beat me with a hot skillet

I never had one of the old penetrators...this is my first one.....I asked the guy at hy-gain and he said they were the same?
 
It will be a while before I can put it up...I have a big maple that needs cut down....I have tried 2 tree cutters and they both never showed up....gonna try #3 tomorrow......the i-max works because it does not have the elements sticking out......this tree is so big that I think these local yahoos cannot deal with it....its 5 big trees growing out of 1 huge stump.
 
When you get some time please post a few pics of the antenna, I am curious if they use the same matching network design like the original one.
