I just re-read that and that's not what I meant to say, sorta. By antenna
voodoo I mean advertised gain factors, which seem to get more outrageous
every year.

Your reflector idea makes sense as long as the mast can handle the wind
load, it would reflect more.

I have to say your ground plane is the best I've seen. Do you still sell
them?

Hello Steveo:

I am not real impressed with the short ground plane radials I have seen
advertised for the I Max 2000.

I think 3 or 4 each 96 inch Francis Amazer Fiberglass Whip Antennas
would be a good ground plane radial kit. Not the shorter ones I have
seen advertised.

You gonna stack em?


Apparently I'm unaware of the add-on radial kit that you are asking
about. I've never owned one of those.

I'd ask Jay if he thinks it helps, he's sorta our resident antenna
guru in this group so far.

Ask him about his credentials first tho.

Too much antenna voodoo now, Jay.

Your walkin' papers are still impressive tho.
