I wonder if your mfj is out of calibration and should be reading 50ohms?

now you had me sctratching my head here. I didn;t know if you were saying that we shouldnt worry about blowing up antennas and equipment too or if he shouldnt plan for when he upgrades his license and can run 1500w

I asked Gary and he said that can work with 2 antennas, doesn't think it would with 3 and he said they should be a half wave apart not a qusrter I edited because I had to call adn ask him again

he just buried about 5 feet of the towers in the ground after he coated it with some rubber paint and it was easy with his backho

He says he loves it because its hotter gain adn more power haneling then the super scaner and he needs to cut down his local inteference from a cber of all things only half mile from him so the two reflecting a99 antenas work real great he said

My cousin is into 10 meters, he used to do CB but now he's a tech in ham radio. He just put up three 40' towers a quarter wava apart and put an astron99 on each tower. he said he cut the coax for each a99 excactly four waves long for 28.4 where he talks. I hope I get this right, he has all 3...

ok. well that might be it then. Im new on here and dont want to hog it plus i dont know enuogh to so i'll go back to readring and learning

ok so that probably wasnt it because the one he bought is still made

is there any called perpetrater? seem s like that was it but I dont remember

Sounds right. I was thinking it was a name with the letter p

Well that just seems stramge to me that a company would make an antenna physicaly shorter then what it could be because I would want the biggest tallest and highest I could make work tops over the rest Reason I grabed that maco wasnt just the price but my cousin had one and he knows alot more...

Getting cold outside in the mornings I just went and measured an old maco a guy gave me for $2 at a yard sale because the ring got broke and 1 bottom arm got bent and its not even 20 feet long from the ring to the tip. Now you got me a little perplexed because it sounded like you said a 64 was...

Is it different from a 5/8 or just a common term for 5/8? I always thought a 5/8 was a very good antenna and yes, even magic at times, but that's really the atmosphere

About 25yrs ago I helped my cousin build a 5/8 but lost the plans until I found them last weekend. Maybe I'll give it a go. Keith you wrote .64, don't you mean .625 for 5/8? Not trying to be anal, just wondering about the number. Wouldn't .625 round up to .63 not .64?

when i multiply 36 feet x .64 i get about 23 feet

wow, a lot of gain and a low swr too? if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

"I talked to Jay a few days ago, he sounded like he wants to start building the I10K again, he said there are a few obstacles in the way he needs to work out first. 73 Jeff" did he say what the problems are? i'm new here but i would like a better big antenna to replace my astron99 and i keep...
