Anyone here using the MA-5B? I'm running a 360ft loop at 60 feet now (thru
a tuner) and I'd like to get something more directional for DX. I was told
by others that a vertical would be good for DX but I had an MFJ vertical
before and I wasn't too fond of it. 15, 17 and 20M are my bands of choice.

A 7ft boom with the longest element around 17ft. For a small beam, is this
a good choice?

73!

Hi Smitty,

IMHO, the TGM Hybrid-Quad is a better choice. I have the six band 2 el.
model.
