my antenna

i couldnt aree with you more high miller far as fiberglass antennas go you cant beat the imax 2000 . As far as beams go i run the maco m-103 it hold up to wind well .herein nj we get bad Ne winds in the winter so a low maitinenc beam is perfect like this

Hi,

I already ordered a I-10K...LOL...
Putting it 48 ft to feedpoint on a tower...

After using my uncles Top One for over a few
days now i'm sort of surprised.
My Imax was 38 ft to feedpoint before i lowered it
and Top One is 31 ft to bottom of ring.
Transmit is the same, but, Top One recieves alittle
better, mostly because its more quiet.

I have a Shooting Star, your right highmiller
they are a good performer.

All good Antennas to be sure... The Shooting Star was based on the MoonRaker design... And if anyone knows anything about MoonRakers, this was the design that "Bounced Signals off the Moon"... Hence the Name...

It is one Helluva antenna... If you wanna drive your point home, Put one of these Monsters up!! Linear is optional!

[RoadWarrior]

I'm located in Central PA, i'll let you know
when i get it up. I have some tower assembly work
to finish yet.

Be cool if we could turn the Shooting Stars toward each other and carry a QSO.... That's a little to far in our conditions though!!

Damn hills anyway! LOL!

 

[RoadWarrior]

These mountains and hills are a killer...LOL
If we lived somewhere where it was flat, i
bet we could talk...LOL
