I have the Diamond x50 which is only 5'6 inches tall and it works well but I wonder if I should have opted for a taller vertical myself? Price dictated my vertical since I bought two yagis at the same time. Nothing wrong with the X50 though just never owned another to compare it too.
Most people just stick there Imax 2000 in the air and use it for 3 or 4 yrs until it starts falling apart and then they throw it in the garbage. Why all this over analyzing?
Not a guru, but I advise staying away from boat anchors unless you are technically minded and enjoy working on the old rigs from time to time.
Plenty of new 2 meter rigs in the $150 range, dualbands new for $300. New HF's like the Icom 718 and Alinco dx 8 are $550- $750 range. Used radios on...
I went to the WX9MCS website and that is a beautiful antenna KC9SQR. I can see why it hears well. Once I get rolling I will try to listen for it. Thanks for your kind words and the welcome.
