Hello Buther Boy:

The beam antenna should out perform the Interceptor 10K 5/8 wavelength
ground plane antenna. If the beam is designed and built right.

But not all beams are. Money is well spent in the proper feeding and
matching of any antenna. Which is not always the mass produced,
manufactured low cost way.

Having a beam antenna with a low cost and lossy feed system, is like
Nascar with a one barrel carburetor on it. It will look good and make
some noise but get easily beat.

what performs better, your i10k or a beam antenna? (i know your i10k
will withstand the stronger winds over most anything out there at the
moment.)
