I noticed them on the Arrow's website and I just didn't know much about them. I'm looking for a good yagi and I didn't know if the corner antenna would work well for me. But it sounds like I should go with a regular yagi instead of a corner antenna.
Thanks for you help,

Can anyone tell me about the 2 meter Corner Reflector antenna from Arrow? And how do they compare wth a regular 2 meter yagi antenna? What are the pro and cons of a corner reflector antenna?
Thanks,
Andy
I'm looking for a good 2m yagi (4-13 elements). I would use it mostly for DX. There are a lot a different antennas out there I'm just not sure which brand to go with (Arrow, M2, Gulf Alpha, Cush Craft etc.). Also, when I find the "perfect" antenna do I go Horiz. or Vert. Should I stack them...
Ok I won't worry about it then. I just put it up and I notice that the gamma match is in line with the elements and it's facing the same way as it's transmitting. I just didn't know if it would cause some type of reflection with trasmitting or receiving.

The more I think about it the more I'm torn on what to do. I usually work 27.385 the most but also the higher freqs a little. If I mod the antenna according to the website I will have good front to back ratio but I will lose approx 1 db which I know is not a big deal, but... If I leave it at...
Thanks,
I'm going to mod. my yagi according to the above website. Unless I hear differently from you guys. But I think it sounds like a good idea!

I have gotten a lot of different opinions with this question, so I thought I would confuse myself a little more and get more opinions.
I have a 30 ft Rohn 25G tower with a 10 ft mast pipe at the top. The bottom section of the tower is attacted to the house. Leaving 20 foot of tower and 10...
I had a A-99 up on a 40 foot tower for about 2 years. Put it in the garage for 8 years. Now I'm using it again. I am looking to upgrade it but for now it works good with a good SWR across the band. As long as the SWR is good, I would use it to atleast get on the air. Then later down the road...
Thanks for your help and info.
I don't know if this makes a difference but... I just found out that the yagi is a 4 element not a 3 element.
I do plan on keeping my omni up. I was just wondering if it would be worth my time putting a 4 element (horizontal) yagi up. I am mostly...
I have access to a 3 element yagi (I'm not sure the brand) that I could put up. My question is, would a horizontal 3 element yagi at 30 feet out perform a good ground plane which would be at 40 feet when talking DX.
Also, my yagi and ground plane would share the same mast pipe. How much...
I know Mr. Coily (the Enforcer) and the I-10K are the best base antennas you can get. But for people on a little tighter of a budget. What would be a couple other suggestion? I have an A-99 now and I'm looking to upgrade it for better DX performance.
Thanks again for your help!!

Can anyone tell me about the .64 wave 11m antenna from Wolf Radio? How does it compare with the Enforcer from Mr.Coily? I'm looking for the best DX antenna I can find. I'll be running less than 1000 watts and my tower is only 40 ft. If anyone has other suggestions for any other antennas, I'm...
