I plan to push-up a Sirio SY-3 to full λ height (36'), I expect to achieve < 10 degree projection on the horizon; and install my I-Max 2000 immediately above the SY-3. The I-Max 2000 has served exceptionally for 20 years but never before above 25'. My idea is to retain the all around receive...

I'm sure he implied roll of tubing. Ebay.

Speaking of abnormals...have been binge watching "Sanctuary". Magnus, makes my tongue stiff. Several characters put me in mind of WWDX forum associates.

Twilight Zone? Doesn't that require black and whiteTV?

Pictures are worth 1,000 words. Very encouraging. Accordingly does not exceed 1.2:1 across 11M band; and, barely breaches 1.1:1 Thank you. Relax 7861.

OP asked simply what fiberglass antenna. No caveats whatsoever. I'm simply astonished with your response. Suggesting you like 5/8λ is what, an insult? Or being in agreement with the notion of the Gain Master, a dipole, My bad! Which is also, to my knowledge, fiberglass as well. The A99 is...

That's comparing Oranges and Lemons:unsure:. Another 5/8λ aficionado, you are. Were I looking for a replacement for my barebones I-Max 2000 monopole I'd choose a Sirio Gain Master, a 5/8λ dipole.

On my second I-Max 2000 . 1st one, 15 years standing tall, battled with overgrown tree branches during Tropical Storm winds and lost. The problem with fiberglass is UV deterioration over time. I apply the very best Carnauba paste wax 3-4 layers. Still will not stand up to slashing tree...

A capacitor it is not resistor. "Custom built mounting fixture", that's ROFLMAO funny. Useless is closer to the truth. You'd be lucky to get a single electret to mount face forward let alone 3 or 5 with this so called "custom build" oversized foam sponge. A 3" hole saw cut produces 2 7/8"D...

I obtained the Threesome offering from likely the same fleebay seller. Sponge was far too large to properly orient electret elements in D-104 Mic Head. Manufactured disk from ABS plastic and drilled holes through the 1/4" ABS thickness. Perfectly aligned elements to front facing, with a little...

Now if you opt for the MXTPW1000 you get a fan:rolleyes:. But still Damn Salty

MXPW500 + MXT500 = MXTPW1000 ($1000) + chattel slavery contribution $80-100. Expensive for 15 channel 50W GMRS radio; but, perfect for spendthrift. Radio description, Crutchfield.com, states "15 high and low power channels". $175 for 6Ah battery difference, MXPW500 v MXPW115.

Very Much appreciate link. Quite informative. Will pay attention to more. 2nd round of Stout on me, as well. Just what I need to push-up an I-Vee.

That's good, really good. But I'd liken the difference between a formal affair and crowded loud rowdy bar wherein you can't hear the person hollering in your ear. Sadly, the loud mouths on 11m have their long lists of contacts to check off, seems nightly, have no regards for the lesser...

edited for brevity The YouTube making of GM was quite informative. Have to ask about the push-up pole? Brand and Height? Eznec modeling also quite informative! Low 8D horizon elevation quite impressive. That's what I'd love to see with my set up. Can only hope. I'm leaning strongly toward...

$99 for unassembled bag of parts Toby, POC @ TroyRadioService. " unobtainium". That's an alien metal isn't it?

Just came to me. Fayetteville TN. Dad bought a rock pile in the area decades ago. Raised goats that took over the house. That was a memorable time :) JackDaniels Distillery a few miles away. Triple 1, I'll be listening for ya.

It's the formality that keeps me from taking the plunge. The 5 year olds olds make me want to move up and away. There's very little etiquette anymore nor forgiveness for formality forgetfulness in the learned.

Huntsville? Hello neighbor! AL45-70 Chnl 38 LSB often. Aka AL Buckeye, C31 AM. Native Tennesseean decades ago. Woodbury TN enlisted. AL transplant/retired.

Thank you for that explanation of the "center fed" nature of the GM. I failed to see that, thanks Marconi for your input on this fact, skimmed right over it; my bad. I'm going to read more into how a apparent monopole is actually a dipole in disguise. Learning more every day.
