    5/8wave vs .64wave

    Bob85, The Imax 2000 is 24 ft long. But, the actual total radiating element inside the Imax is 270.5 inches. Alittle over 22 ft.

    5/8wave vs .64wave

    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.

    5/8wave vs .64wave

    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...

    imax 2000 ground wire

    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...

    Gain I-max 2000

    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...

    Old hygain quad

    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

    best 11meter vertical ever, period.

    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...
