I am in the market for a Maco Comet 3+3 element beam. I don't see any site sponsors that sell the brand. I've hit up 3 or 4 of the usual vendors checking price (some price diffs), availability and shipping cost (large price diffs). Anyone have any suggestions for lesser-known but trustworthy vendors of this antenna that want a bit of business?

I did check out Bells'. They're pretty much at the top when it comes to both antenna cost and shipping cost, like nearly $100 more than a few others that have them in stock and that I have bought from before. It's odd how one place will ship for $35 dollars and another says $65 for the exact same shipping method to the same address. Maybe it's a shipping zone thing. Of course that's doesn't explain why the antenna itself is 25 or 30 percent more expensive at the place with costlier shipping but oh well.
I buy lots of stuff from R&L Electronics.
They are one of the ones on my "good list" but so far I have not purchased anything from them. Yet.
I've been working my way through the reseller list here.

Did you try Palco? They price match. The comet is $310. You have to call them about shipping. I bought my V58 from them, no issues. http://palcoelectronics.com/pe100.aspx

@ BJ radionut:Ham radio operators (VHF/UHF) should pay attention to enhanced radio propagation paths throughout the middle latitudes and equatorial region, a common occurrence following such events.

@ BJ radionut:Had "Aurora" propagation on CW/SSB on 6m last evening. (300-700m range here) The 2m guys had lots of Ducting/TROPO between the East Coast and Gulf Coast op's, even early today.
