I don't have my SD'r up right now, but I was working a Wolf .64 with skip from everywhere north and south and some to the east into Florida all day long.

now thats a freaking weird antenna...wow just looked it up..lol

Here is the SD'r at 50' and an I-10K at 40':

AWESOME..now, do you remember the height of the starduster antenna itself?

 

[Marconi]

Do you mean the measurements of the SD'r?

 

[lords]

yes !

 

[Master Chief]

do you remember the height of the starduster antenna itself?

To the TIP, or to the FEEDPOINT?!

(sorry Marconi, I couldn't resist!)

To MC. Actually it was about 48' to the feed point on the SD'r and the I-10K was 40' to the feed point. The I-10K tip was still about 5-6 feet higher than the tip on the SD'r.

Lords, there are several different M 400's and they all may be different measurements and/or angles at the GP. I think the Knockoff was more to the horizontal in the angle.

the original was:
Top radiator 99"
Radials 107" each
The Hub 1-7/8"

A knockoff was:
Top radiator 98.25"
Radials 107.25"
The Hub 2.5"

antenna only not mast MC..lol

ok thanks just wondering because mine is 550cm (18.04').
and from the top radial is 133cm(4.3') to the top of the bottom radial(2 radial vertical)and was showing a SWR of 1.3then i lowered it to 4.2' (1" difference)and now showing 1.1.but i don't know if i am messing with freq changing..as in the manual it said 1 cm up or down changes freq...
sorry for high jacking this thread.....

anyways putting back up the CLR on the weekend...
