IMAX-2000

I am glad it works good for you. I have a discone that I used a few years ago and it worked well. I didn't use it on 11meters but on vhf and uhf.
I just picked another one up today, tomorrow I will deploy it and DX with the bad boy. I am hoping that it was just a bad antenna.
 
I didn't know one could transmit on 11 meters with a discone. Evidently fairly well according to Mudd. I might try one.
Hey brother how goes it? Have a look at the Tram 1411 or something in that class. As I just stated I picked up another one today, I like them because they make a great RTL-SDR antenna as well as a nice multiband TX antenna in one. The last one that I had was getting out there, Louisiana to West Virginia loud and clear with 100w AM.
 
It's the stinger on it that is allowing 11 meters, remember they are zero gain antennad and they spray the signal everywhere .
I am aware of the zero gain and the spray but dang this thing is great. I may live stream on either YouTube or Periscope tomorrow to show the performance. I had one up and had issues so I put an A-99 up and the performance dropped.

... I have an imax 2K. They do work 10 thru 15 meters no tuner required. ... as the vertical will work mounted close to the ground and give decent DX performance, well when the solar cycle picks up again it will give performance:whistle:
Same antenna here. 12ft off the ground. RX from .1 - 30Mhz. Bought before the purge. Made a few contacts last cycle.
