And the Tennadyne stands up to ice and wind well. I've had over an inch of ice on mine - looked like a sick buzzard - along with 60 mph wind gusts. As soon as the ice melted the elements straightened

"...actually I find that M2 is right on in their numbers no specmanship here whatsoever." Then look here at the on-line M2 spec for their 12L LPDA model: "Gain 6.8 dBi / 11.6 dBi @ 45' " The gain is

I can understand your concern about claiming a single gain spec for a wide range of frequencies, but the ONLY practical gain spec for a real world antenna is to spec it at a specific frequency ... an

Worth noting when evaluating the N2IC report is that the C31XR has an effective boom length of 25 feet on 20 meters, 22 feet on 15 meters, and 25 feet on 10 meters. The C31XR compares favorably with,

Hi all, A few questions: 1. I'm not disputing the quality of the Optibeam, but for comparisons, a JK Tribander, at least when details were last available on the JK site, was less than $1k. It looks b

It was an interesting article by K6IF and W6BD although I am not sure why the gain figures in the chart do not match the text. The C-31XR and 4el SteppIR are two very different technologies and yet t

Mass production always lowers the price. That is not a fair comparison. Somebody somewhere is quite happily making Cushcraft antennas for a much lower price than these multi thousand dollar antennas.

For mass production you need a mass market. I don't think there is one anymore. Optibeam pretty much builds to order (although of course they stock parts and tubing), and given the variety of models
