Thanks. I finally have it in the air, just need to get the rotor installed and get it higher in the air. It works great for DX even 20 foot of the ground. Looking to help me get out locally.

When running this v-quad in the "L" position, is it important to have the gamma match in the vertical position ? I'm assuming yes.

I know this is an old thread but, I just bought a V-Quad and it should be delivered later this week. I've read that this little beam works fairly well close to the ground. I plan to have this antenna up about 30-35 ft. (limited options due to space). I guess the consensus is to run this in the...

About swallowed my tongue when I saw the price.

Poor neighbors.

I had one of these up in a pine tree for about 25 years. Survived many storms over there years. The tree finally grow over it so I replaced it. Very durable antenna.

Cool. How is it working local contacts? Far off stations?

I'm looking to build (or buy) a Moxon so I'm curious to see how you like yours.

Eldorado828 any updates on the tram 1498?

I have mine in an 80 foot pine. The height does wonders. This is the second antenna in this tree! The first antenna was in the tree for 25 years.

Classic StarDuster

Alright. I finally got the Maco installed in that tree! SWR are 1.2 across all 40 which I glad as I had a fear that I'd have issues with it once up in the tree. BTW the swrs lowered just a little once the antenna was mounted in the tree. I used 120 foot of LMR 400 coax which I'll bury from the...

I ended up going with a Maco v5/8 antenna. It will replace the old antenna in the pine tree, as soon as I can find someone to climb it.

No me. All quiet for me the last 3-4 days.

I do want to change the meter lights, because they're really not bright at all.

475 South Minnesota booming of 37 lsb. Some great skip rolling in Dixie.

444 from Wisconsin is booming here in North Georgia right now on 38 LSB

Picked up a 2980 this weekend. Nice rig. It was priced right. ;-)

@Christopher Race Lowe did you have issues with your SWRs with this antenna? Not sure I like the clear cover over the coils at the base of the antenna.
