    Maco Antennas

    Yea, The oct. snow that we got here in PA which was 10+ inches destroyed lots of antennas in my area too. My home made flat side 4 element 10m beam I thought for sure was a gonner but the heavy wet snow finally fell off it and it sprang back. The Imax scared me too, it was bent almost...

    I can not agree with this quote, I have had a Maco 5/8 for 6 years and it went through high winds and Ice with out any problems.Large birds could not hurt it either. I gave it to a friend and he has it for over a year and it is still great. AP

    Imax ground plane on A99

    I thought about the length of the radials on the ground plane for the Imax, I thought they were 72 inches but thought I better measure them again to be sure. I guess I remembered wrong because they are 69 inches in length not 72. AP

    Imax ground plane on A99

    Yes, mine are 72 inches. If needed I can cut them and put the black plastic cap back on. But it looks as though I not need to. Just thought being the a99 is 18 ft instead of 21 ft I would need to cut them.

    NEW al-811hd making popping sounds in my radio

    Call HRO, It would be a shame to have to pay the shipping back to them even though it is defective from the start. Maybe they will not make you pay shipping I don't know.I would be pissed if It was me and had to pay shipping on defective amp. You can also call Ameritron and talk to a tech...

It needs to be lightly sanded and refinished but that would be easy. I was going to do this but lost intrest in it. It works good and...
