Recommendations on an inexpensive 10/11/12 meter base antenna

[whiteastro]

Workman also makes a M400 Starduster which was my first base antenna when I was getting back into CB again and it also tuned well and ran it many years until water got in it and froze & split it. Then I replaced it with a Sirio M-400 which I run today. But being a old repairman at heart the Workman is repaired and setting in my garage just waiting to get put up again. ( just in-case ) LOL

Yes, I found a workman at Palco Electronics. I was actually surprised the first time I visited their site. Great prices and they seem to have a good size inventory. Undertaker said he's had nothing but great experiences with these guys.

I don't think Palco is in business. They have not updated their website in a few years. When I tried to order from them, it went nowhere.

The Workman Starduster is a viable option.

I think the Sirio's have gone up in price above your budget. I have made vertical dipoles that work well too.

I've been running Antron 99's for many years now. We live on a coastal island and it is VERY windy here in the winter. Antron's have great wind resistance, and when they do get demolished by hurricane force winds they are cheap to replace. They are easy to put up and also work well; I've talked to over 75 countries on them over the years !

i can also vouch for the sirio 2016 ..ive had mine since 2009 .at 2 different locations ,,beat out the imax it replaced.. lasted thru many pa winters ..but for a budget antenna i still say sirio m-400 is king

I have a Antron 99 and a Imax 2000 hooked up here in Michigan and both work great on 10 and 11 meters plus have weathered the hard winters here with no problems. Best antennas for the money period!!!!
