jo-gunn V-series antennas

[GunSlinger338]

anyone have experience with the v-series antenna from Jo-Gunn ??

nope but i saw one guy run them cophase and that was the coolest lookin thing i ever did see 8)

Jo-Gunn says they talk skip good.....
not sure about local ?????

looks like they work the same way as the maco v quad. I think its called a delta loop. should be good for dx and local feed with a single run of feedline.

joegunn says the V & Star series are there best sellers for DXin. i know that Delta loop design is a quiet as it's kept DX killer.

I can't be for sure, but the JG V series looks like a V shaped dipole and not a loop antenna like the Maco V-Quad.

Yep. It is like a yagi made from inverted V elements instead of the straight flat elements.

whats the better design ?? Maco or jo-gunn ...IYO ??

My GUESS is that the Jo-Gunn will be more robust, and you'll pay for that. I don't mean to speculate, but the rest of the Jo-Gunn series is overbuilt as well.

Well GS, we hear a lot about the advantages of the quad over the yagi. If true, then maybe the quad is a bit better element for element than the yagi. I have had plenty of verticals, side by side to compare, but I have never compared a yagi and a quad at the same time.

i guess thats true, the jo gunn doesnt have the wire connecting the v, so I guess it wouldnt be a delta loop. I bet it would still however perform good local and dx. I am not an antenna guru, just a hunch.

thanks for the Info......
thinking about putting the Base back together......11m
I have a 13b2 on the tower now that I never use any more.

Looking for somthing single fed that will do DX and local

might try out the 4 element JG-V

heres the picture i was a talkin about look how mighty purty it is
