The Highest point in Florida is 300 feet above sea level and that is in Alabama. (look at Paxton, FL and Florala Alabama). When you live on the water, radio waves do not weaken like they do over land. We have a few advantages being flat and being on the water. No mountains to block and absorb...

Robb, thank you for your response. $10.00 difference in price. (The Quad is for some reason more expensive) Shipping is less for the V-Quad, smaller package and lighter in weight V-Quad Wind Load is 3.33 vs 3.99 for the 103C Ease of construction? two elements should be easier vs three Very...

Right now, with the P-500 (Single Stick with ground plane .64 wave) I can talk consistently with CB'rs who are on beams at 50-60 miles away. I am 13 feet above sea level and they are less than 200 feet above sea level. Once I am on a beam, we will be hearing each other far better. Right now...

Maco 103C at 45 feet HyGain P-500 will be mounted above the beam Assembling the Maco 103C and mounting it Horizontal this next week.. It is said (and obviously true) that this will not work as well as a vertical mounted beam in a LOCAL vertical environment. My question is, how does one...
