Great idea on holding the gamma with string!!!!! . Mine bent down due to heavy snow. I had to pull the antenna down a few times to make that repair. Next time I will use the waxed string. Cheers MJ

I used to have a Maco V5/8 wave. I loved it so much. It was on a 45' tilt down with 15' of mast. Using a Yaesu ft7b. Dead key 3/10 (.3) watts and swing 80+ watts. I talked all over the world with that set up.

Tilt the quad on its side with the gamma vertical. It works fantastic. You get both polarity. We did it with a buddies and field tested it at a range of 50 miles at night with no skip. Great performance on both vertical and horizontal at the same time. 73 from 567 northern Minnesota.
