Coily EXCALIBUR Base Antenna

[Drifter]

OMG!!!! have you guys seen thisCOILY EXCLIBUR BASE ANTENNA :shock: I purchased the Coily Base Enforcer last month.....I love my Base Enforcer but wished I had known about the excalibur It seems kind of pricy but this thing has a life time warranty.It looks so beefy compared to the Base Enforcer I wonder how it will perform??? Anyone buy one yet?? I would like to know how it performs...

Is this spam? :roll: Only 2 posts and both are about Coily antennas? If it is, then shame on you and I would never buy one for the lowly tactics. If it isn't, well then shame on me. Well since you lured me in, how much is that antenna? Which antenna is better at eliminating tvi? Gotta admit, I like Jays layed-back marketing/style a little better. 8) I would still like to see a side-by-side comparison of the coily/I-10K by someone who is un-biased, so we can get an honest opinion with tvi, signal and receive, ground noise, etc. Comparing these antennas to a $50 Antron or an Imax is not what I would call a fair test.

This is NOT Spam. I also just joined, but didnt even know about these forums until this week and I have owned the Imax for 6 years and the A99 for 10 years and recently got back on the radio. Everything I say is completely true, I just wanted to find a better stand-by since my IMAX is starting to show its age. I cannot talk for drifter and I do not know him, but I am in no way, shape or form, related to Mr. Coily and I am NOT trying to financially gain or trying to get a cheaper deal on something based on what I type from my personal experiences. I am a very happy coily owner, just as I was a very happy IMAX/A99 owner when I used them and so on. There is no BS here. I just wanted to clarify this now because I am in the midst of writing a in-depth review on the enforcer base antenna.

I look to get the Excalibur someday..

Why do you have a problem with what anyone post around here...... and why are you calling my post spam???? Are you the board watch dog??? I merely post a question about a new antenna that is out.... and I also stated that I am dissapointed that that I did not know about the Excalibur or else I would have purchased it instead of buying the Base Enforcer. If you have a problem with my two little post then shame on you!!!!!! :evil:

Easy there! :roll: I asked if it was, because usually when someone props or promotes a certain product on their 1st post, it tends to be connected in most cases......... especially when their profile is nil or is vague. Not trying to start a flame war here......just wondering.

By the looks of the price. Why would anyone pay that much for just a Omni antenna?

I don't like to turn my house,i like to talk everywhere when i key.alot of guys are ground plane guys,,i will Run a big azz ground plane any day over a beam and if it cost me a little bit more for the very best ground plane :!: i see no problem with that, E-mail me directly guys and i will get you fixed up...73sss www.mrcoily.com.......Dan

lmoa, it looks like dan has adopted my can of pop as a size reference too, ( pepsi cola! when size matters ) its a good idea as everybody knows how big the can is, the antenna looks great to me, keep up the good work.

I actually kinda figured you would like that big ole coily,and the pop can i did think of you on that one, but the coffee can really gives it the good comparison, and the welding <<<jitters>>>,,and i would tell you also your big ole coil did help me in decision making on the Excalibur base...I have been e-mailing and also reading my arrl manuals about coil and matching systems and i was going to go with 30kw gama setup but after many e-mails with alot of guys i wen't back to my playing field, Big ole Coily,They tune out perfectly 1.1.1 @50-52 ohms and X@1-2 =.64 23 feet really radiates great..it's 24 feet with out the 2 feet of top hat...Its the almighty ground plane..really impressive!Stronger than ever with the doble masting and triple inplaces..anyway i have to finish up on some mounts so i will catch up with you later...thanks 73sss Coily

How much better will it perform than your enforcer? Is it made that way mostly for strength, performance or both? My major concern is eliminating tvi (next door) running my big x-force .

 

[2at124]

base antenna

would it work without a ground plane kit i woul dlov eto stack it on top of my maco-m103 does the ground plane it come off??

 

[airplane1]

32 ft, wow I like that, full wave, cool.

 

[Roger Dodger]

32 feet of double/triple wall T-6 aluminum for a ground plane and stainless hdwr.? That should be quite pricey! Anyone want to buy me an early Xmas present?

My questions for Dan @ Mr.Coily are:

1) Are you applying any finish preservatives to the Enforcer's aluminum to retard eventual corrosion/oxidation?

2) Do you believe in a finish preservative? (ie. Mosley Weather-Guard)

3) Do you recommend conductive grease carefully applied to coax connections? (ie. Mosley Penetrox)

You're running a "big" amp and yet worried about TVI being eliminated via a different antenna setup? It's possible that a percentage of RFI will be reduced, but your neighbor's electronics is somewhat at fault, depending upon the cheapness of design and lack of good RFI filtering. The FCC looks at it that way... that is as long as the offending RF signal is within FCC compliance/specs. In your case, it apparently isn't so, and your neighbor could cause troubles for you (unless you both are cool about it and you've tried to do some filtering on his/her devices for them).
