I love the fact you guys tune them up and mark them out like that, very helpful, I may be up for a antenna upgrade come spring, this is awesome, tuned very well

[@smithderf]

The coax length used to mimic the swr reading at the source is any multiple of a 1/2 wavelength. Keeping the velocity factor of the specific coax in mind.

bingo

[@ChristiannTyler]

This situation is giving me a headache. It might be a bit much to ask, but I could really use some assistance. I have the A99 on my roof, and I get a 1.1 SWR on my Workman. However, I recently acquired a couple of amps, and I'm hesitant to run them without access to an analyzer. I might take the plunge and order one, but once I do, how do I ensure that all these pieces of equipment are safe to run? Is it as straightforward as checking the antenna with the analyzer, or should I check between each piece of equipment?

[@SiddVic1]

Nice antennas. I like the balun underneath the boom on the 5 element.

[@gumptechnologyjtgamps723]

U can put the balun under, on top, infront or behind the drive. Element. It's a choice. I've done the all ways.

[@ClassicJunk88]

these things look sturdy, and not too unwieldy. Wouldn't mind having one at all.

[@johnnyphillips9735]

That's a nice antenna I put up a lot of antennas that one is the easiest I've seen good video rooster hillbilly waving

[@johnlapierre4905]

Great guy doing a get video, lots of info. Big help to me

[@eshop777]

This looks like a very nice YAGI design. It would be nice to see a star quad design, as you can achieve circular polarization...and that has advantages. As for pronouncing balun, remember it is a conflation of balanced and unbalanced. Since you don't pronounce balanced as baylanced, it is bALun (like the name AL in there).Retired EE, FWIW.

[@Brandon_B.]

the sheep says baaaaa! baaaalun! (shortened from bal-anced to un-balanced transformer) LOL awesome antennas fellas! gotta get me one as soon as I put a tower up! ....73

[@Maine307]

thank you very much for this video. will at any point, do a video on the typical recommended way to ground these antennas? i have frequent lightning up hereon my hill area.. and am concerned . when u have time, could you send us to school, on your recommendation on a proper ground , for this antenna ? especially for us noobs ? many thanx! and Cheers! !! awesome video

[@Gravytrain815]

Thanks for the video

[@skidmoredewey]

It's a maco antenna with a balun

[@Rooster_Radio]

Way different spacing than a maco, way different signal pattern than a maco, different front to back ratio, DB gain, bandwidth etc. Parts are supplied by Maco. That's not top secret information or anything, but the antenna itself isn't anything like a maco. 🙂

[@Rooster_Radio]

Contact information is located in the video description

[@johnlapierre4905]

I need your 6 element with balun that will take 20 k watts

[@dishdawg1]

OWA's and LFA'S have been in ham use for a long time id love to see the eznec plot on this thing you can get more gain tuning the directors a bit not bashing a bit and if use bigger dia elements it will get even wider bandwith

[@gumptechnologyjtgamps723]

Others can play all they want. I'm sure they have money to spend an time. I am providing a antenna that is ready to go that has been tried true an tested with 30kw avg myself an one that has been tried with 70kwavg. My goals in this which have been for years is to help improve folks with less headache or experiments costing them unnecessary money an being misled. Everyone always has an idea an that's great but only on their dime in my opinion. I have seen with my own eyes that alot of the larger elements etc to be more of an unnoticeable difference for what the extra charge would cost a customer. Difference on a computer playing with elements for gain etc is easily done but one vs the other on the air is not some much noticable. Lots of debating in antennas but also on the other hand folks already wanna spend cheap as it is meanwhile wanting to buy something pre figured rather than do it themself while being cheap. Lol.

[@gumptechnologyjtgamps723]

Cheapers already worry about weight windload etc. Lol they couldn't handle the thought of more weight money etc. Many variations. Just being affordable with proven specs an power capability along with a 70 plus channel flat spread in which many would even use all that.

[@woodchuck8197]

Gump I need one of these so bad !!! Asap

[@jmanranger7271]

Text is what makes the rotor turn

[@woutb.5210]

In theory a coax from antenna-to shack- is of no importance. The coax is 50 ohms just your antenna must be 50 ohms and there is sometimes a problem.

[@rksg2003]

Ow much does it weigh? Boom material? Any ideas yet on the wind load yet on 5&6 elements?

[@shawndavis7067]

Where can I get more information on pricing and specs on this particular antenna? Very interested

[@Brenda-jf2pe]

If I had that here in Utah the canyon winds we have would kill it in one year! What a shame I cannot have one SHIT ! John boy utah

[@Michael-ny4xf]

How much is the 6 element with balun?

[@David-qf6ls]

👍👌🇺🇸

[@ronalddotson9490]

I stay in a small apartment building is there any antennas out there I could use

[@user-bu6yw1bl2z]

Any email address or website for these ?...

[@jmanranger7271]

Horzatinal wire antenna parts at your local hardware stores 🏬 bolts post concrete all in one day no orders from a truck 🚛 straight knowledge my new baby 😁🍼 help me out

[@tiffanykyzer6776]

The guider wires are figured in or does it really matter?

[@Rooster_Radio]

Are they figured in? What do you mean

[@hankjackson5393]

How would you go about getting one of these

[@hankjackson5393]

Will you tell how long it is

[@josephriffle124]

That's not Zero reactance. It's in "phase "mode".

[@gumptechnologyjtgamps723]

I can prove Zero reactance if I need to. I got 2 more going together. I know antennas an how to tune. Maybe u should go check out the 6element of mine in the air he has an check out that Reactance 😉😉😉. So so so sorry the analyzer was phased lol. But I dont think its phased in the 6 of mine in the air.

[@vhf2582]

Where can you buy a balon from?

[@anthonysayle7409]

What do u think of the 500 watts rocketbox amps

[@Rooster_Radio]

can't say anything good or bad, as I have never owned one.

[@jmanranger7271]

Swr pro

[@Auska64]

Nice antenna but it wouldn't my 5 element Quad got some neighbor,s running 20 to 30 I'm in they business with 5 I don't need big watts anymore to get out

[@Rooster_Radio]

It's a good thing you don't need big watts because a quad won't hold what I consider big watts. I also don't care for cranking my antenna down after the wind blows. The only time my 6 has came down is to upgrade feedlines

[@jmanranger7271]

Bs boy wire can hold and watts why do thank is running your hose power 😄 lines junk man ♂️ wants its I had quads bearcat scanner radio cheap out of the box the magic jumper 🤯 sold at truck stops 😞 u da boy matching boxes gamma match still set to frequency cut the wire antenna to your favorite band tv antennas set to frequency your car 🚨🚗🚗 runs on gas 😮 10:59 11:00

[@alanjoslin5612]

Horizontal and Vertical tell me why?

[@Rooster_Radio]

horizontal only

[@jasonricketts2618]

Is the reflector fiberglass?

[@Rooster_Radio]

No

[@teresajones3789]

looks like a maco

[@Rooster_Radio]

Go hook your coax directly to the driven element on a Maco and let me know how that works for you. You clearly know nothing about yagis or you'd see the difference. I'm assuming all beam antennas look alike to you. If if had a square boom, you'd say "looks like a jogunn"

[@teresajones3789]

LMFAO@@Rooster_Radio

[@deadnorth8333]

11 meter LFA antenna possible?

[@chrisyanez2299]

yes ive built a few lfa's and had really good success . im sure gump and jtg will get around to building the lfa at some point .

[@ropnjessi]

What is the frequency range on the antenna?

[@Rooster_Radio]

If you watched the first minute of the video that questioned was answered

[@ropnjessi]

@@Rooster_Radio I was more interested on the top end up to 28.900 you barely showed that

[@amoslarry965]

Can i still buy one of those

[@Rooster_Radio]

Not at the moment

[@lorinbrinneman1767]

Why horizontal?

[@Rooster_Radio]

Because it's the more consistent option for stateside skip.

[@edwardswrightjr1346]

How much
