I have a couple of C3's and they flat work. They blew away a TH7 much smaller, lighter etc. I bought them when Tom still had F12. I heard Tom is building antennas again. W0MU built, simply don't outp
You can get skew path on 20 and 40. I was hearing a UX station far better at 90 than directly at him. This happens a lot more than people might think because they point the beam and go. If the antenn

I made a leap of faith stating that MFJ might be taking over F12 because of some flawed logic. I know that Bill's company is liquidating stuff in Grand Junction. I have a hunch where F12 might end up
Glad you like your Mosley Antenna. Sadly they performed very poorly in real tests compared to other antennas. Maybe that is fine for folks on the East Coast where EU piles in all the time but not oth
I am looking to side mount and maybe rotate a 6 or 8 element 20 meter beam would anyone care to share their designs? I have a bunch of aluminum itching to become an antenna! W0MU ____________________
Good points. I have a broken 4 ele SteppIR which is now a 3 ele for now at the top 70ft. I was looking for something with big gain east for Stateside. There probably is not enough gain to be gained v

You can build the Air Boss or similar from parts at your favorite big box store and you will need a valve stem from the auto parts store. This is by far the easiest method I have tried and I had fun

The longer the better to a point. No longer than the height of the antenna is what I have read. Also after 60 radials the return on investment may not be worth it. On 3/7/2017 10:28 AM, Herb Krumich

I was going to suggest the same. MFJ sells/owns the Cushcraft XM-240 and most of the parts are the same so I suspect you can get spare parts from them. W0MU Gang, I just took down a 1982 Cushcraft 40
I don't think you realize how razor thin the margins are in ham gear. I worked at HRO Denver for a long time and the margins on radios is in the dollars range. I am sure that DXE has better margins o
