    2 Element Yagi

    Was wondering if anyone has dimensions for a 2 element yagi on 11 meters. Space limits a 3 element or higher. I have the Maco BA1 dipole, thinking of adding another element and make it a 2. Having a hard time finding any info for a 2 element yagi for 11 meters. Any ideas or info.Thanks

    Radio EQ and or Processor

    Just wondering what you guys prefer to run. Most radios today have both . I'm still trying to get some of the Parametric EQing down pat. I've looked at Bob Heil's ideas on his website, some have worked out for me. Just wondering if you run just the Mic EQ with the Processor off. What do you...

My question of course would be, would that be good enough to run a...

    maco ba1 antenna

    Quick question , set it up to the specs that was giving, instead of 27.205 being perfect, my readings at 26.205 are 1.1...….would adjusting the gamma on this help get the cb band where it should? CB band is around 1.5 to about 2.0. Thanks for any input .BTW this's the Maco Ba1 Antenna

Like the design of a maco yagi and making it out of copper instead..Of course as builders like that the price would be steep, but for some joe blow like me, how crazy would the idea...

    Zero Five 11 meters

    Haven't seen a review on this antenna yet.Ordered one about a week ago and just got it so really quick shipping for an antenna that's made to order, so i open the box and first thought was holy shit!

    Yagi in between V/H

    not sure if anyone has covered or had anytime to do this, but has anyone ever took lets say a Maco 103c ,104c etc....and placed it in between the H/V and did any tests..Just curious as if it would act as both or how the pattern would be.You always see it vertical, or you see it flat, but never...

    macov5000 above maco103c

    was wondering not sure if this has been beat to death, but lets say my 103c is flat and i put the Macov5000 about a foot above on the same mast and rid the v5000 of the ground radials, now would the v5000 use the flat 103c as a good groundplane or would it just mess with the pattern..i thought...
