Lazy, Lazy, Lazy bones!
Looks like then if you want to talk to him you'll have to dump that dipole and get some serious BEAMS up about 100' + and about a couple KW and tell your neighborhood assoications to shove it.
How about this for size?

that metal thing is for the birds. I have mine only about 2 feet from metal (top of a satellite dish) and I have a 1:1:1 match as well, yes I have TWO MFJ 259 meters, a set of CPI WM1000 meters and others and I get the same reading every time I check. I would not think that all 3 of our MFJ...
Wow! Last night I talked to two stations about 20-22 miles away with the Mr. Coily Enforcer .64 up about 25 ft from the ground to the feedpoint. The other stations were both on bases (with Imax 2000's) and using galaxy 99v and magnum S9. I was talking on a 4 watt swinging 12 watt radio (Nato...
This is NOT Spam. I also just joined, but didnt even know about these forums until this week and I have owned the Imax for 6 years and the A99 for 10 years and recently got back on the radio. Everything I say is completely true, I just wanted to find a better stand-by since my IMAX is starting...

Thanks Roadwarrior, I think you have the I10K and I know that beats the Imax out too no doubt. Two awesome antennas by two awesome guys. Its so great to have people making us better products for this hobby. They are well deserved!
Coily,
We are having KICK AZZ DX Skip conditions right now.
We had 4 straight hours of intense skip from here to Altanta, GA. I tested the Enforcer with 4 watts and then quickly went back on the roof and put the Imax 2K/GPK back up and came back. I did this test two times (sweated my azz...
Quick question, are you noticing any significant increase in signal over the enforcer with the excalibur antenna? Or is it the point of diminishing return but higher power handling, lifetime warranty and incredible durability?? Just wondering, I might be tempted.....:)
I was definitely barefoot!
I was barefoot the whole time (as I usually am). The only time I wasnt barefoot when I demonstrated it with flicking some switches! :lol: I havent had the need to do this in quite some time!
The beam is gonna be better since I was on the Horiz. side, but the...

Lazy bones sounding strong up here on the top side of the motor city.
Worked him with a barefoot Browning Golden Eagle Mark 4A on the flat side of my Gizmotchy beams and my Mr. Coily Enforcer .64 groundplane.

Got you again today. Radio was dead today and then the skip...
The link was just a reference to the innerards of the Imax and how lossy it is compared to a I10K or Enforcer type of antenna.
I have tried the A-99 W/GPK and IMAX 2000 W/GPK here with the enforcer in my comparisons. The enforcer is about 2 db's better over the Imax and roughly about 3 db's...
I just know by what my Browning Mark 4A receive meter and all the people out around here locally have been telling me.
Also, I put the Imax back up and people are telling me my signal is lower, it was from a 7 DB swinging 8DB to a 5 swinging 6 on the Imax.
Also, one person was waiting for...
I have just received my Coily Enforcer base antenna as well. I will use it for about 1 month before I do a full review. But for the 4 days it has been up I have noticed about 2 db better transmit and receive over the Imax 2000/GPK and Maco V58 antenna. One person asked me if I had a 2 pill box...
