Thank you for viewing my youtube channel. If you have questions or concerns about any of the videos or the equipment posted within them you can contact me at 423-299-3535 via text message only. Thank you again for viewing!
Very informative video. I enjoy seeing good equipment being built here in the South. Keep the money local...sort of.
Interesting I’ve always wanted to learn more about beams. I just don’t really know much. Still learning though thanks!!
I think I need a balun for my dipole. this thing is a beast! i'd have to have one if I lived in the country
Thanks for this video
Compliments 👍👏👏👏 good DX.
Nice looking antenna guys I like the balun and that it tunes by length and seperation of elements ol 302 boss aka gump boy that handle I gave you josh stuck lol ,,,,,behave down there around the bam
Nice antenna, but i was waiting to see if you was going to say how long was the boom on the 5 element beam! I've got a brand new maco 107 still in the box but i changed my mind on wanting to put it up at my house because the boom is so long, is this one about the same length as a maco 105? Or maybe shorter? Thank You And Happy New Year! Tony, in N.J..
Bear in mind the bigger the bandwidth reduces the efficency of the antenna, what u gain will not be worth the loss .
The loss isn't as drastic or significant as you might think. We aren't talking a loss of 3db gain, more along the lines of .5-1 db gain.
Also I don't think you realize how an OWA antenna works or where the bandwidth comes from.
DB gain is on par with a maco m106 with way better bandwidth.
hello
I am from the Dominican Republic and I saw your video on UA-cam about the OWA 5-element antenna and I would like to know the measurement of the separation of the elements since I would like to experiment
yoal
thank you so much
I'm going to have to come down there and show you how to do it. First you keep the pl 259 connectors loose. Then shove a thumb tack into the coax for every kHz you want to run. You have to bend the driven element 45° off set to the rest of the elements. Then the real secret (don't tell no one) is forget what anyone tells you and wrap the whole thing with duct tape. There is just some technology I won't even charge you with this time.
Are both of the wires coming from the balon hot or is one ground? Very awesome clean build there
Ones hot one is ground
Does it work similar to a dipole?
Do they make a Balum for a 3 element Maco?
How about a box wire feed beam ? In a 4 element
How long is the test lead off the antenna if you don't mind..

I had some Tower issues so didn't get back to you. Did the 5 tune down as good as Gumps 6? The 6 video shows 1.0 across more than 40. Thanks...
The 5 tunes out just as well.
A 1.5swr is good enough??
Roster. How much are the 6el??
What would be the time frame for another 5 shipped to NY? We little stations need some Gump! Lol...
One week to week and a half turn around
@@Rooster_Radio Considering the 5 element can you share the weight and what Rotor would be a good match? Are you okay with sharing the price here or should I send a text? Thanks,

wonder if yall could build me a 2 element or 3 element and how much roughly would it cost..power lets say amost 5kw in time..lol
I have a Maco M-105 would it be possible to turn it into a direct feed ?
Yes
How much for a 5 element beam buddy??
Nice what is the boom length
5 element is around 20ft
I have a doubt the elements are isolated from the boom or they go direct
The driven element is direct fed... Do you want pictures of mine in the air?
the reflector element and directing elements touch the boom or are isolated
that's a directional beam antenna , put a rotor on that puppy and watch those weak signals get strong as you turn it. 73's
I'd like to have one of those balun who do I contact for one and what's the contact number I don't need a 30kw.
You can contact me. I keep them in stock. The only version I Carry is 15kw avg-30-35kw peak.
423 299 3535
Where can I buy 1 antenna 5 elements..# ? Phone # or web ..thx
Contact number is at the end...🙂
What is the cost of a 5 and a 4.?....
Only offering the 6 element now
Here is a link to calculate the length of the jumper cable when tuning the antenna: www.radiomods.co.nz/coaxlength.html
Have to figure the ends as well, something not many people think about
You can message me on FB same name
