I have talked to a few people that claim the
I-10K will out-perform the Wolf-point antenna
mentioned above.
I have never tested these 2 antennas, so, i can
not say whether it will or it won't.
Bob85,
You can read 3 different articles or talk to 3
different people and get 3 different answers.
If i were you i would just design and build it.
Form your own opinion by seeing first-hand
how it performs compared to a 5/8 wave.
I personally don't care for most theory, i
like to see...
Ok, awhile back a place i ordered from told me
barjan. They probably got mixed up on who bought
who...LOL...
ok, so it is DAS that bought Solorcon.
What exactly does DAS stand for???
Today while placing an order, the company told
me DAS bought solorcon and K-40.
Das is located somewhere here in PA.
There seems to be different stories going around as
to who bought solorcon.
Hummmmm
I have a RCI 2995dx. I don't hear any noises
when i key up.
Run a fan kit on it to keep it cool.
Send it back if your hearing unusal noises when Tx-ing.
I run an I-10Kand love it! The Coily enforcer looks like it
should perform good also.
Hats off to Jay and Coily for giving it there all
to produce better antennas for all of us.
Most of the time when a fiberglass antenna gets
hit by lightning the antenna will be about 12 inches
tall and splinters of fiberglass all through your
yard after the strike. I have seen it many times in
my area. They just can not take a direct hit and
survive most of the time.
I take my...
Don't go by gain figures as stated by antenna
ads when looking to buy an antenna.
The Imax 2000 gain is somewhere around 2.9
and 3.2 with the GPK.
A true 1/2 wave antenna will out-perform a 1/4
wave antenna and a true 5/8 wave antenna will
do better than a true 1/2 wave antenna.
The...
Roger,
Your tower is NOT going to have a hinge plate to
swing tower up and down. Am i correct on this???
I don't have a clear picture on how you want to
do this.
Everyone has different ideas and views on such an
assembly.[p]\ whoops my cat walked on keyboard...lol
With having a beam on...
We are not going to fight about antennas are we? LOL
High Miller your Imax is 105', correct.
How high is your Shooting Star?
I'd love to get an antenna up 105'...LOL
But, 47 ' is pushing it here. So, thats not happening.
That Mr coily antenna, "The Enforcer" looks like a nice
well built...
S.E. sure could of had better hardware and better
assembly instructions. I thought they were both
below average on my White Lightning.
I had my SWRS good when i first bought it. Then, a
large bird sat on the fiberglass rod and pulled it
out of the hub. Took me weeks afterwards to get
SWR...
Good Luck with your new antenna... I had no problems matching my I-10k
or any of the other problems your friend had.
Set up correctly they all work good.
Well, have fun with your new play-toy! LOL
Ok, i picked up the Sigma 4 (look- alike) yesterday.
Got it together and tuned for channel 20.
Had to re-tune my I-10K for ch 20 as it was tuned
for 27.505.
The sigma 4 (copy) is about 27 ft long.
I will try to build it to 32 ft another time and try.
I have a small cemented section in my...
Hey Roger,
Yeah, i know how good it works...LOL...
The imax 2000 i got off my friend, i sold to
another friend who really likes it. He had a A-99.
I also gave him what was left of the broken Imax
i had for parts.
We installed a 24 ft tower for him yesterday.
Put the Imax 10ft above his...
