@@davidlewis8124 Not as wide banded, i get 1.03 at ch 20 at 40 1.3 at ch 1 i get 1.3 the best talking antenna in 40 years that i ever used. check me out at 6:00 min of this video.ua-cam.com/video/dlAd5vGzEB4/v-deo.html
Again you didn’t listen to the video,it is directly feed to the gamma and has one inch braid coming off the half inch helix coax going to the driver element. Thanks
You did'nt listen to the video, i did tighen the boom up. and this antenna is the best talking antenna i ever had. 48 years on the air. Thanks P.S. about the vacum varible gamma don't knock till you try it.
I love gamma driven antennas but have never heard of variable,i must investigate this.Thanks for the video buddy.

Nice. 73
What are you going to do with the old Moonraker?
cool,been waiting for ya
A99 landfills heaven 😍
Good decision. Put a Antron 99 above it for a spotter and to talk local to those working on the vertical polarization.
You would have phasing issue
@@lizzyfan1986 no you wouldn’t. They are in opposite polarity.
Why put a lightning attractor above it. Put Sirio serious antenna instead.
How high for talking skip with a beam?
@@lizzyfan1986 No issue by mounting a vertical ground plane antenna above a horizontal aka flat side beam.
What size vacuum tuner are you using on your vacuum gamma? I would like to try that on my antenna.
Comet 15k
Nice beam
Thanks Best talking beam i ever had.
Any new updates on your iRig mic setup? I have one ordered to try it myself
Nice work, MM555. How's it working and where in NC are you?
Best beam i have had, here in Lumberton NC. Thanks
That's great to hear. 73's down your way
How's the vacuum gamma holding up for you
Doing good rooster,got the swr close to flat. Thanks
Fyi it takes about a week to get used to them lifts bouncing around to get used to it
How long is the Boom?
Very impressive 6 element. 73s
31 feet. Thanks
Very Nice 👍 now that's all a man needs.

The variable tunning cap will cause loss ... Don't use⚠️
whats the pf on the vac variable ?
10/150 pf sorry it took so long to answer
Looks good if I may make a suggestion remove that hardline off that boom. Not a wise decision best to have insulation between the boom and hardline.
Talking good like it is, it's in conduit pipe and the SWR is flat. Thanks
@@mm555nc9 okay I couldn't see it looked like the coax is taped to the boom I apologize.
Direct feed it ... And use balun or just direct feed
Again you didn’t listen to the video,it is directly feed to the gamma and has one inch braid coming off the half inch helix coax going to the driver element. Thanks
You need to take your old antenna to the junk store
🎉😮 cant talk across the street with ta
That set up tAlk the word with my stock 2950 142 glt plus a 23 channel 😀 with a dipole antenna
Go away Troll.
Looks like someone made it to the 2nd grade from their spelling.😂🎙
He is a dipollock 😅😅
It's bent up
If you talk much locally a Horizontal Beam is a Terrible choice.If you mount it vertical you can still work everything. Go get him
Geez really Sherlock
@@jeffhicks2070 That’s right GOOD BUDDY.Go back to your CHILDREN friends on the CHILDREN’S Band where you belong bozo.😂😜🤪
Boom sag tighten back bone

I would have left the Moonraker 4 I used to whip maco beans all the time with that Moonraker 4
You won't whoop mine ,your ass be running to candy store mudduck 😅😅
