How do you know that it works well? Low SWR or even working DX is no indication of antenna performance. I really do not understand the popularity of OCF antennas. They can have considerable common mode current making them susceptible to feedline radiation and RF in the shack. Simple dipoles or fan dipole for the desired bands is a much better option.

The Buckmaster is recommended to be installed as an inverted V. That's sweet that the E Tuner gets along with it but I have the 3,000w version and run full legal limit on all bands (where allowed) that it operates on without the need to use my tuner. Not high performance eh? Funny stuff. I suggest anyone considering this fine antenna consult the eHam reviews of it by people who actually own the antenna & have experience with it. Comparing a beam antenna to a wire is sort of ridiculous IMO for what should be more than obvious reasons. Lotsa haters out there as usual. kd0bcf ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
