Hello Sanghunter: The 36 feet long vertical radiator element would not be able to be supported by itself, guy wires would have to be used. And you would want to use aluminum tubing, as its much lighter. The differance between copper and aluminum is insigificant as far as antenna...

Re: Question about Sigma 4, LW-150 , Sirio Vector 4000 anten Hello Smalltiredart: I have seen the Sigma 4 type antenna work quite well, I used one for a few years. I have heard about the interference problems also, and this may be from the vertical element is not insulated from the mast...

Hello TonyV 225: Maybe you could put the Super Scanner up say 30 to 40 feet away from the A99, and do a comparison test. I'll put money the Super Scanner will work better than the A99. But not blow it away in a significant comparison test. I have used the older Scanner Antenna, and it...

Hello FDTrucker: You may have to install a Balun inbetween the coax and the dipole elements. The Dipole antenna has one of its haves or elements connected to the coax shield, and the other half to the center wire in the coax. The center wire can not radiate as its inside the coax shield...

Hello Catsknr: Yeah those cast aluminum hubs are a good idea for low cost mass production light weight antenna stuff, but just don't hold up. There are new technologies in casting materials that will allow the aluminum to be way more flexible, so the cracking and breaking of the Hubs will...

Hello Bud73: Stacking the Yagi beams for VHF MURs should not be a difficult thing to since the beams are not large and heavy as HF Beams are. Cushcraft stacks their 2 meter beams at 116 inches. See www.cushcraft.com/support/pdf/951411.pdf And here are a few more web sites that have...

Hello Slickpenguin: You can connect a wire to the bottom of the steel mast, and then put in a ground rod (sold at hardware stores) and connect the wire to the ground rod. I would use 6 gage wire sold at the hardware store for the grounding wire. This will ground the all the Astro Plane...

Hello Jobah: Look at the Sirio Antenna web site here: www.sirioantenne.it/anten...1008171169 These antennas are made in Italy. Sirio made a bunch of other antennas, and they dropped some models. Be advised. But the web site should put some light on for you. Please let us know. Jay...
