has anyone tested the coily enforcer base antenna against the interceptor 10k, and the wolf 64. Just wondering which really is the best. I have a wolf 64 it works great but i would buy something else if i knew it was better.

It's all good, done that, did it, been there, oops still doing it...BOOTY MONSTER said:sorry....was still half asleep and had mobile on the brain .
O yes a set of beams and a wolf now your talking get a set with horizontal & vertical elements wire them in circular polarization when you hear some one way off in the background on the wolf turn the beams on and bounce off the moon and talk to people on the other side of the planet the good old days will that work on HF well anyway you'll have a great DX station.distortion said:Even if you saw any gains from one to the next, it'd be so close it'd be a waste of dough.
You'd be better off raising the antenna you have up higher, getting more power, or buying a yagi for the $300+ to make the swap.

That "ONE" is the I-10K for so many reasons. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of owners can't all be wrong.
The trombone matching network on the I-10K is superior to the coil on the coily. You can't even get a wolf Point 64 anymore.
Even if you could get all three antennas, the I-10K would still be king, even at TWICE the price of everyone else!
Seminoles, do you even own one of the antennas being asked about?
Glad to hear you've owned a couple. I don't understand the "moved down to the ground post still broke" part.Seminoles said:Yes sir a 10k best I have owned but broke during hurricanes one after another moved down to the ground post still broke. Most of it might be in the bay somewhere
The ONLY difference between the I-10K and the I-25K is the connector. The insulator does not add any mechanical advantage to the antenna at all.Seminoles said:I was thinking of the 25k for the heavy duty insulator but it will have to wait other repairs come first.

Had it on 40ft of pole when hurricanes where coming I moved it to the 10ft pole that is buried 9ft in the ground so it was setting 1ft off the ground thought it might be safer there below the trees my bad next time I'll take it apart put it in the garage. Knowing my luck a tree will fall on the garage...

loosecannon said:Still, to this day, I would push the Imax 2000 for its ease of installation, stealthyness, and good performance. If stealth and ease of installation are of no concern to you, the Maco V-5/8 is almost impossible to beat. If you can't put up anything higher than 20-30 feet overall above ground, then the Top One is impossible to beat."
