Yes, eddie i'm hearing echoes. Are you??? If we all agreed on everything we would not be human...LOL I'm not a Tech, so, my opinion doesn't really count anyhow. But, i try to tell the 100% truth about all products that i have personally tried and used./ What may be a problem for me, may not...

Yeah Eddie.....LOL I meant no offense to anyone.

Roger, there is a difference in the performance. And in the quality of the Alumunum radials and the overall quality of other parts used. My old Maco V 5/8 is bent and twisted from our very severe winters we had years ago. This was my main concern and reason for not using it today. Glad...

If your not going to ever push alot of power, just get the Maco V 5/8. As far as wind, try it and see how it does in those conditions. Both antennas are built basically the same. Except for a few differences mentioned in other posts. God-forbid if it should fail in the future, step up to...

I dug my other 16ft big stick out the other day. The labels are not as badly worn as the other one. It has Super Big Stick stamped on it. I gave my friend my original big stick years ago. He still has it in his shed. I'm going to stop and measure it someday. From memory i think it was...

Anyone know what could be the problem with my RCI 2995dx Base??? When switching from AM to LSB/USB or CW the noise ratio doesn't change much like it should. And the needle always is on 3-4 S-units and even if someone is right under my antenna they can only make it swing to 7-8 S-units...

Hi, I was wondering something about your 2995dx. I am having issues with mine since it was new. When switching from AM to SSB (LSB, USB or CW) the noise ratio doesn't change much and my needle is always on 3 -4 S-units and someone could be right under my antenna and only swing it to 7-8...

The reason i was wondering was i heard people talk about an 18ft and 21 ft Big Stick. I know of the less than 16ft model and 16 ft model. And of heard of the 21ft model. If the 18ft model exists then they must of made 4 different types. If not, then only 3.

How many different models of Base antennas did Shakespear Big Stick make??? I had an original Big Stick which was less than 16ft, not sure of exact length. No longer have it. I have (2) 16 ft Big Sticks. I can't see the markings on the one, but, dug other one out and it has Super Big Stick...

351, Yes, whatever antenna you choose to run, get it up as high as you can. I agree with that 100%. I live in PA. surrounded by mountains, so, i understand the Valley situation. I dream of broadcasting high off of a hilltop all the time....LOL... But, i do not plan to move,so, all i can do...

The Imax 2000 should be at least 18ft off the ground. No less in my opinion. Higher would even be better. I would play around with height and see what works best and then leave it there. As far as the GPK, i personally have not noticed much of a difference in performance. However i have...

About the valley thing. I've heard of guys tilting there beams up in the air to try and get out of the valley better. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK THIS WAY! You need a low angle of radiation for good local talking and good DX talking. Living in a valley is just a misfortune your have to live with...

Call me unlucky or whatever,but, i never had luck with the A-99 or Imax 2000 antennas as far as having to much recieve static and TVI-RFI problems. Had same problem with Big sticks also. But, thats me and maybe not you. Just got to try things for yourself to see if it works for you or not...

I have 2 16ft big stiks here, but, they are worn and i can't see or remember what model they are. They are 2 pieces and have a black rubber boot that slides up over where the 2 pieces join together.

As soon as i get some money issues straightened out here i'm going order a Coily 22 inch shaft double coil dx mobile antenna off him.

When i spoke of Big Stiks as average i was referring to the smaller or half wave models they produced. I've never used the 21 ft Big Stik,so, i can not make a comment on that one. Good Luck with your next purchase of an Antenna there Oldpirate. I love my I-10K, but, can not comment on the...

Boy reading some of these posts here in the antenna section brings back the old memories. Best thing to do if you want to see how an antenna performs is to simply put it up and give it a whirl. Heck for $10, i wouldn't think twice. If your happy with the results leave it up. If not, buy...

I have heard to different sides to this coin. I have heard that Smokin Gunn II do not have good rejection. And some say they do. If you can, drop your Omni and see for yourself if you are getting a line of crap or not. Jo Gunn is not the most truthful company i do know that much. There is...

If you want wide bandwidth than go with a A-99 or Imax 2000. If you want great performance and a quailty built Omni Antenna that will survive high winds get a I-10K. Cheaper priced metal antennas with less quailty strength, but, great performance would be your Maco V 5/8, Spectrum 1600 and...

The Big stiks construction of there antennas seemed to be better than solarcon constructed antennas. Solarcon antennas win on bandwidth. Did tests years ago, but, just can't remember correct performance figures. I got tired of pissing with fiberglass stik antennas as they produced TVI,RFI...
