[TowerTalk] Cushcraft MA5B

[Gary - N3JPU]

Had a MA5B for a couple of years until I moved and bought a 3e SteppIR. It
was a surprising performer for it's small size. I well outperformed my OCF
dipole and Carolina Windom by a mile, plus had a fair bit of FB. I did have
it at 70' where it seemed to really play well. It did not cover all of 20M
but the icom built in ATU had no issues. For $399 it is well worth the
money.

I'm looking at small beams for when I get my tower up next spring. One that
seems to fit my bill is the Cushcraft MA5B. Does anyone on this reflector
own or know someone who owns or has talked with someone using this antenna?
Any info I can gather from users will be greatly appreciated. 73, Tearlach
