11 Meter. I've read so much I'm confused rather than smarter. Every manufacturer claims they're the best!

Thank You for the reply! Skills yes. Time no. I'd rather buy someone elses engineering.

Well it's hard to beat a 4 element Lightening quad if that's not too big of an antenna. If your going with a 3 then a Maco 103 is a good choice. Another one to look at is the 3 element Maco V quad. Lots of choices out here.

4 Element Lightening Quad YES I have read the good I'm glad you mention that. Marconi was not fond if I remember correctly in some discussions here. Seems Yagi design is pretty hard to beat from what I gather & somewhat agree. Maco manuf quality is good huh?
I will read more on the Lightening Quad. However I do not need Vertical. IMAX only couple yrs old does superbly in all regards. Thank You for your feedback!

If your looking for quality its really hard to beat a Mosley 4 or 5 element yagi. I am running a 4 element Lightening quad and only using the horizontal polarity on it. Works very well.

Whenever I hear roof mount tripod, I automatically think roof leak. Good luck.

 

[Marconi]

IMO, your buddy is absolutely correct about the coil.

I don't recommend using a spring.

I would never do one on a residential roof this is on a outbuilding garage that if it leaks it's got an open ceiling I can detect it
