Hello Jeff, me and my other half are doing ok, just getting old, hope all is well at your end,


Dave, The G-MAX is real it is a 32ft+ collinear & does seem to have an edge over the vector style antennas, not enough to make me rush out & buy one,


The downside of compressing your doughnut for more gain is the antenna & mast need to be stiff otherwise you tend to look like a mobile station if the wind is blowing,

Not sure if I can reach near skegness to be honnest,

I only have a gainmaster up at 35ft to base, still waiting for a man bringing me some ali scaff poles to raise it higher,


I cut down 2 vectors for 6mtrs, now im making one for 4mtrs when I find some teflon tube for the gamma & decent socket to replace the sirio socket.
