Hello TS E:

You need a really Bitchen type of name for a good speech processor. But
the problem is, that if the speech processor doesn't work well then the
Bitchen name works against you.

I have a "KING KONG" Gamma Match here with a very large burn hole in it.
"KING KONG" yeah right! They put more time into the name than the product!

Hi Jay, didnt know you could buy gamma matches. A guy gave me a Moonraker 4
beam a few years ago that had some damage . The gamma mctches had been
damaged so I replaced them with a piece of Al tubing and a piece of RGa that
had the shield stripped off.

Good job, Jim. Gizmotchy sells 5K gammas. Can't swear to their reliability
but they've been around since the 60's.

Hello Jimmie D:

Yeah there are after market and some antenna manufactures sell larger
diameter Gamma Matches to handle higher voltage in order to handle high
power output. The costly thing in the Gamma Matches is the use of a good
insulator like Teflon is real expensive.

I just put up a Moonraker 4 with some new and improved parts and pieces,
but still had the stock Gamma Matches. The Hubs, Mast to Boom mounting
plate, and and few other things had been updated, but I was disappointed
with the antennas performance. And I ran one of these antennas for a
long time.

The moonraker is a pretty decent antenna but like a lot of CB antennas the
manufctures were trying to sell elements. They stuff as many elements as
they can on a boom that is still UPS shipable. I remember back in the 70s
how a few people would claim that ther e3 element beam was better than the 4
they used to have and now I believe they may have been right. I extended the
boom on mine and respaced the elements vertical for 11M and horizontal for
10. Any way I guess the point I was trying to make to start with before I
rambled is that my Al tubing and coax gamma match easily handles a full KW
on 10. Why cant the manufacturers make something that is so easy to make? At
the risk of appearing to answer my own question I think it was because if
they did consumers would realize you can go down to the hardware store and
buy the parts and roll your own about as easy as you can build thiers out of
the box.

Hello Jimmie D:

Well the Moonraker 4 and 6 element beams where a great design for the
hardware to get real cheap for production. The Hubs that attached the
Elements to the Boom are made from Cast Aluminum. Real cheap to
manufacture, but in time they break and crack making the Moonraker Beams
useless. I had new Hubs made from 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum made from a
CNC Mill. Now the Hubs are bullet proof. But expensive!

But the problem for manufacturing something using large quantities of
materials is always been a design art.

Hello Jay

Have a great weekend.
