Indeed everything works. That supposition does not rule out some things working far better then others with the proof being in the empirical evidence of experience by making contacts. I don't need a
The point many Mosley supporters don't seem to understand is that from the results of one antenna, you cannot derive any knowledge about whether it is outperforming another yagi of comparable cost or
I just have to put my 2 cents here on this subject! Back in the 70's my friend and neighbor Don ... then WA4BCY, now K4UE... and I... then K4JYO, now K4WI.. were busy chasing DX for new ones for our
Your premise might be valid if you were the only DX'er in the area, but when you have the competition that we had on the East Coast, then my statements, while not based on true scientific data, still
Is this bash Mosley week. That was a funny story Courtney. The problem with it is that there is no way to know if the CBer installed the antenna, coax, etc. correctly. I've seen a few CB to Ham insta
OOOKAY ,,, I loved my classic 33....in the 70s. No too many components to screw up.... Rather than just talking about performance or perceived performance, let's get some data or anecdotes on WHY the
The issue is that nobody wants to hear or find out that what they bought was not as good as another product or that product X which is less might be better. If you are happy with your Mosley great. T
A yagi basically wants to work so it is surprising for one to perform significantly worse than similar sized antennas. One issue could be feedline radiation from not using a balun. According to N0AX,
Doug, I can agree that perhaps the story isn't funny to some folks. Its funny to me because the same thread repeats every few years. The anti-Mosley folks come to the surface with their stories, the
Dave, It is just a slow month I guess...which leaves lots of time for folks to bloviate. The ORIGINAL question that I posed was whether there was any justification or just what, to the comments in so
Whoa! Im on only my second cup of hot caffeinated beverage this morning and I encounter bloviate on TowerTalk. Had to look it up. Made me laugh right out loud. Gotta be worth an extra 3-DB.. 73, Doug
Thanks Doug, Sounds like you are going to enjoy installation. 73, dave -- Original Message -- From: "Mike Ryan" <mryan001@tampabay.rr.com> To: <Towertalk@contesting.com> Sent: Thursday, February 19,
Dick-- You should read the Courtney post again; He was NOT the only DXer in the area. In fact, he described an "A-B-C" comparison. Bill--W4BSG --Original Message-- Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 9
I have a Pro 96 and used a TA36 and they both work great. Haven't melted under power and certainly do pull out stations clearly that cannot be heard on my wire antennas. I saw someone compare a Mo

I look at it a bit differently. He and the other DXers had experience and skill that the typical ham does not. It take skill "on both ends" to discern that tiny difference. You see it on FD where one
well I guess I knew that my post would stir up the proverbial hornets nest but my comparison was with 3 different hams all within a 30 mile radius using identical rigs and different antennas; one of

No hornets that I've seen but some of us are trying to look at two things: First, As far as I know, only one Mosley really had problems and that was one of the big Pro antennas, I think only one of t

Doug make some good points. I'd also ask if anyone actually checked out his new station to make sure it was hooked up properly and showing a good SWR? I also wonder if he assembled the antenna correc
A balun /ˈbælʌn/ is an electrical device that converts between a balanced signal (two signals working against each other where ground is irrelevant) and an unbalanced signal (a single signa
