Base antennas ?

[Oatmeal]

Got a question about this Maco 3 element beam....

Like I mentioned this is a new beam, still in the box, I'd like to no what can I exspect this beam to do if I set it up to use on the 10m band compared to a dipole or the Imax 2k?..

if you set up the 3 element on flatside. you,ll have lot of dx contacts.with it. the imax
will do ya good but i think id leave it setup as a 11 meter antenna. unless ya have
a local ham club.then id raise the rings so 28000 is flat then SHOULD cover most of 11 meter and good part of 10 meters .

You don't need to touch the rings from what they were set at the factory and it'll cover all of 10m, 11m, 12m and 15m with a SWR below 2:1.

a low swr doesnt mean the antenna ius resonant at all those frequencys.
