Marconi, ground plane radials are 108 inches on my super maggie.

i was thinking the same thing. i would be interested in what the model shows. have a good day.

Marconi, i have the old super maggie main element put back together, except for a piece at the bottom where my break occurred, as soon as i can locate that, i can get a measurement. I have that stored somewhere in my radio room or garage.

you are welcome.

I see that. I just found the pdf file showing the tuning table and the bandwidth response. Linky below...info is on page 3/4. http://www.sirioantenne.it/pdf/Id-442-26-02-2016.pdf

greetings: wishing you the best with your health marconi, my father in law has a pace maker and also suffers from diabetes so i know a little of what you are going through. Below is a link to a video i found on you tube, There are some swr measurements that this person made towards the end of...

you could just get the tower, set both the beam and the vertical on it and be done with it.

with 40 feet of pipe up in the air, i would sure use a lift, and i would rig a guy wire set up at about another 15 or 20 feet past the peak of the roof. the antenna would be the last install after anchoring vs. the house and the guy wire system is set up. if your area experiences wind, you...

i was just wondering how you plan to lift 40' of water pipe, because when i used 26 foot of pipe and then the gainmaster on top of it, it took all my and my son's effort to lift that up. the darn thing was really top heavy especially when you get past the pivot point and are on the home stretch...

i used a 3 element beam very similar to the maco 103 with a small antenna rotor on a push up mast for about 10 years with out a single problem. if you guy them up they will be fine. i have also used pipe much like you are about to with the vertical antenna and i have to say that the pipe...

What kind of amp is that 450hd on your screenshot pic? neat looking amp, thanks for the pics.

the antenna appears to be on sale from DNJ radio on both amazon and it's own website, but i found it lower priced on amazon.

marconi, if you modeled a 5/8 wl end fed with thick tubing such as the I10k vs a 5/8 of thin wire the size such as the a99 uses, i wonder what that would show?....on a center fed, i would think the ground or counterpoise currents would be balanced, but much higher on the end fed, but i could be...

marconi: regarding this link you posted above: http://aa5tb.com/efha.html at the very end of the article, the author states "I can usually rack up 500 contacts using only 4 or 5 Watts. DX is very easy with this arrangement as well". My thought on that is that low power is not likely to affect...

marconi: i believe the difference to be in the wire vs the aluminum, but i could be wrong. once the ground plane was removed from the aluminum tube i10k, the antenna became much more sensitive to it's environment and all the before mentioned variables greatly affected it and to a greater...

greetings marconi; How can one operate a radio through the antenna without a feed line? Once the feed line is introduced, the cmc is introduced. While some may have luck in their installations, others may be unlucky and can never tame the cmc. Power amount being one variable that adds to the...

Marconi, your signal report makes me want to repair my super maggie and get it back up in the air, but as I get older I hate to think about messing with the radials even when I have my son to help me at times with getting an antenna up in the air. I'll likely just stick to running the...
