    Sirio Gainmaster

    So here's some bitter irony for you---this morning I glanced up at said GM antenna to see that it has snapped over at the first junction betweeen sections. Ouch. So yeah, that happened.

    Sirio Gainmaster

    I use one for both 10 and 11 meters. I had an Imax2000 that broke. I have no empirical evidence that this antenna is better than the Imax, but it seems to hear better than the Imax did, so therefore would also likely have a slight improvement in TX over the Imax as well. It is pricey. I...

    The Maco 3 element beam ?...

    A good product for a fair price. They can even be turned with a cheap TV rotor. Not sure on the gamma power handling, but it is surely in the thousands.

    MACO M-103C 3 ELEMENT CB RADIO BEAM ANTENNA

    Lots of "it depends" factors here. A tower is definitely the best way to go, but I've seen many of these smaller beams on tripods or chimney mounts and they can work. If the beam is going to be horizontal, that makes it more feasible. Vertical will need to make sure you don't go too high...

    what's a decent free band radio?

    +1 for the Mag257 or RCI2950. Either will fit the bill.

    Windows Vista or Windows 7 Audio Feedthrough?

    My Ham shack computer runs Windows XP. I have a radio that sends audio into my sound card and then I play the audio through the computer speakers. In other words the audio feeds through. I want to replace this machine with a newer one, and would like to keep running Vista on the new machine...
