maco long time old line perfomer. great antennas

 

[Master Chief]

The Maco is a better quality antenna. They still suck, just suck less than any import antenna!

Mosley is build like a tank,they average last around 15 to 20 years,with maintance,but they cost is 3 times as much as the Maco or Sirio.

If you have the $$$$ get the mosely but, the maco will last along time if you do proper maintience to it ever year or two

if the maco sucks what alternitive is there in a 4 element yagi. who makes the better

 

[rfoverlord]

read the post a mosely, but be prepared to spend the $$$$. or make your own which isn't all that hard. and if there is problems you can bit^h about yourself for making such a lousy product and how you should be fired for putting that P.O.S. out on the market and how you will never buy another one again 73 and good luck

go with the maco 104 take your time when building it there are a few tricks to do to the antenna that they used to put in the instructions when wilson antenna owned it. Maco dont put this info in there assembly instructions. just remeber dont over tighten any thing and put rope thru the element's this will help with viberation (no rope can cause viberation with in the antenna elements and cause the metal to get brittle and break) use lock tight on all bolts and coupler's and you should be good for a long time

hope this help's ya 73's

The 'problem' with 'SIRIO' is that they are just not built very much like a 'tank'. Won't/can't say anything about their performance, just that they don't 'do' well in tornados... or maybe it's the 'windy' content of the signal they radiate?
