Thinking about buying a Antron-99 for 17-10 meters use here at my house.
Not sure where I would mount it due to my tower being full with 2 different beam antennas.
Maybe a tripod on the roof? Not really wanting to go this route though.
Or a mast from the ground extending up? Leaning more towards this option.
My house is only a 1 story so getting the antenna over the peak of the roof is not an issue. Although it may only be like 30ft above ground to the bottom of the antenna.
I want the Antron-99 due to its ability to work from 17-10 meters.
I have a Imax 2000 here that was damaged during a storm. It used to work well.
I think the smaller Antron-99 may hold up better to high winds vs the longer and heavier Imax 2000.
The Imax 2000 used to be at the top of my tower before I had the beams installed. The middle section snapped in half due to high winds.
I have also considered the Maco BA-1 antenna due to the fact it will mount off the side of my tower. I believe it will only work for 10 and 11 meters though. Not to mention it is almost double the price of a Antron-99 antenna.
