I just put up one of these antennas , and I have ok results. doe sanyone have any opinions on them and if they recomend something better that for a low budget radio station for the time being
 

Keith,
Just in general, more higher is more better, and it's better to over do the support tower/pole than to under do, same with guys. (As if you didn't already know that?)
It's my opinion that you've got probably the best antenna around for a sort of low budget but good performance set up. Don't have to worry about a rotor, same general 'gain' as a two element beam, plus general coverage. (If yours went for about what they go for around here, forget the 'low budget' part! lol) It's not made for gigawatts of power but who needs it anyway.

PS - If you really aren't satisfied with it, you can always ship it to me. Won't even charge you to take it off your hands... big of me, ain't it?
 
I use to have a super scanner. I didnt think it was to bad of an antenna. You dont need a rotor which is less moving parts and it also act as an omni.

If the condition of the Super Scanner is very good, I'd post it on e-bay and just buy what you want. Super Scanners sell very well, and you'd probably get enough for it so you could buy a 3ele beam and rotor!

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
