What Is The Best Base Antenna Under $135

- Start date
Talked around the world on an antron 99 also I max 2000 and a Siro new tornado, Never owned a Maco v-5/8 but I will say I know a person who has one with a missing radial who gets out like you would not beleive so.......
! maco V5/8
2 Siro new Tornado. ( quiet on the receive compaired to fiberglass )
3 Imax 2000 cant go wrong but put a little nolux or dielectric grease between sections
4 Antron 99 the Ground plane kit brought in olny \more noise for me..
5 Beam if you got the cash rotor etc Maco comet etc

Under $135? Hmmm.
I'll say ten dipoles.

LOLProperly phased that would make a GREAT antenna.
I'll do it!
can you recommend a rotor?
Phase and switch them properly and you don't need a rotator. They can be electronically rotated like the old Super scanner antennas.
Unless this is for 11 meters in witch case they must be co-phased.LOL

I know several people that run end fire array's on 11 meters...

......Dont forget for CB you have to cut the cable in multiplies of 12 ft to get them SWARS right.Unless this is for 11 meters in witch case they must be co-phased.
I do multiplies of 18'....was hell running 18' jumpers up my 50' tower!......Dont forget for CB you have to cut the cable in multiplies of 12 ft to get them SWARS right.

No no no. It's multiples of 18 feet. You are supposed to completely ignore the velocity of the cable when determining half wave lengths.
Ooops........I just saw Jesse's post.
For mobiles you need to take into account the velocity of the cable, but we're talking about base antennas here and on a base station there is no velocity to account for because base stations don't move.
