Howdy, TowerTalkians -       Has anyone ever used an antenna made by this guy? They sure are big - hi. Any comments appreciated.    Cheers, Steve     K7LXC ___________________________________________

His 16 element 20/15/10 tribander looks like an almost complete copy of my Optibeam OB16-3, except that SP6GXP claims about 2 db more gain on each band and uses lighter weight materials. Dave   AB7E

It's hard to believe that such an exact copy could have 2 dB more gain. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing

SWR is NOT a measure of antenna performance -- it has a small fractional dB effect on signal strength (the ability of the rig to put power into the line, and the loss in the line). Gain vs frequency

They are starting to pop up around the US. At Remote Ham Radio sites, Ray is a big user of them, as well their past NA distributor (no longer). Their cost is lower probably due to the lighter materia

I have modeled some OptiBeam antennas and the published specs seem accurate. Of course getting 2db more gain from the same boom length would circumvent the laws of physics. I recently installed a 4el
