The guy's name is Chris I believe. These are the U.S. made ones and from what I have heard they are nice antennas.

Looks like it costs more then the real deal from a1 antennas , interesting.
 
It's a Mantenna LOL!! If I don't go beam from my current setup, it will be the next one I purchase. Expensive or not. You get what you pay for with this antenna. It takes some work to build them like he does and also pre sets and tests the antenna before shipping as well. I suppose it is all about what you want to do and how you want to go about it. JMHO.
 
In my opinion the build quality is not up to par as the true i-10k/i-25k. I would think that since it is a lesser quality copy of the true thing, that the price would be less.

Would be nice , to see a original idea for a change.

I already own a interceptor and have had it for over 8 years. It has been through two huricanes and a blizzard along with big seagulls sitting on the ground radials.

I just dont see ever needing another omni. If for some reason I did , I would just call jay or steve and order another one.

The only way I could see myself needing another, is if someone stole it.

But thanks for the offer

Yeah I hear ya...I have one of Mr.Coily's 6.4 ground planes, but took it down when I put up my Quad...I need to get a pole I guess and stick the thing back up in the air one of these days, but the Quad has dual polarity so I just haven't had any real reason to stick it back up yet.
 
Yes they are DB. Chris is the guy that makes the shockwave antennas here in the states. The other Shockwave antennas were built in Austrailia.
 
I'm not a rep so I don't know all the facts. I know what I know from other posts and readings that were taken at the feedpoint of the antenna with analyzer.

I was not referring to the American vs Australian Shockwave antennas, but the Shockwave that is a member of this forum who's name is Donald, who is different from Chris who makes the American Shockwave antennas. Although I didn't know his name was Chris until now.

In either case, two different people/groups.
