    Stock Maco gamma vs off-the-shelf beta match CHALLENGE!

    I had a friend who went from a imax to a penatrator antenna and lost some gain talking to people 60 miles or so from here. The problem was there were some hills between them and the penatrator had a lower take off. This has nothing to do with matches but can tell why some antennas talk better...

    Base Does anyone know what antenna this is? (Super Scanner)

    They have a patten like a 3 leaf clove in Omni mode. I’ve heard of people putting them on a rotator so they could turn one slightly because of this. A friend used one and it worked pretty well when it worked.

    Hi 552 im brian from indiana. I was wanting to know if you were wanting this bigger beam to be vert or horz? If you are going mac I would get a 7 over 8. It has little more gain based on a guy on heres measurements. I think it was marconi but I'm not sure. The 8 has too many elements for the...

    Stupid things seen or heard at a CB shop

    Base Maco Big Dog Antennas

    True about boom length but just like joe Gunn would do too many elements on too short a boom will also affect gain negatively.

    Base Maco Big Dog Antennas

    You can cram too many elements on a boom and hurt gain. I know most run the 7 element over the 8 because it’s a lot cheaper and I’m not sure who did the testing but claimed the 7 had a little more gain. I didn’t do the testing and I’m not sure it’s true but it was someone on this site. I think a...

    Jo Gunn RIP????

    I was never a fan of joe gunn but heard some on the air hammering real well. Conditions played a big part I’m sure and they were not known for good rejection but sturdy they were. I’m sorry the guy is dead but as far as running one I’m real happy with my maco 5 element and it’s been up 10 years...

    Trump-ish impersonation is a term now? You must be near enough to the USA to watch the news over here. I keep my political views off here because some agree with the way he feels on some things like helping vets and watching the borders better jobs, stock market soaring . Hows europe doing...

    fransis 8 ft moble antenna

    She said the label says francis industries. And the labels look very old. I guess I'm still not sure. Nothing about barjen on them so thats a good sign.

    fransis 8 ft moble antenna

    I thought that model number was for the new ones. I would think it would say which company made it on the label. I will have to ask. He's a hour drive or better but I will find out by phone.
