[amsat-bb] Re: [OTish] Reasonably Dual-Band Large Crossed Beam

[John Neeley]

I would be wary of Gulf Alpha, after what I've been thru for almost 3 months of 
waiting, stalls, excuses and just outright fibs.  I came to within 3 blocks of 
his house while on vacation last month, and almost turned in, but wouldnt have 
done any good anyway, since he never built them even though he told me that 
morning on the phone, they were built, boxed, and being shipped in 6 days, July 
1st..  July 2nd I sent him an email requesting the Tracking number; reply email 
from him,he cancelled my order himself, but did at least refund my monies.  


My 2 cents worth..........M-square is just down the road apiece.....shouldnt 
went there in the first place.....

Take a look at Gulf Alpha Antennas, he makes a dual band crossed 8 elements
on UHF and 6 on VHF. Sounds like what you are looking for. I have one and
love it

Hi All,

I have been looking at replacing my 3/6 ele Dual Band Beam with
a larger one (actually for some semi-local packet work rather
than satellite, hence the OT-ishness of this post.

I know there is the 9/19 ele crossed Tonna, but I also understand
the build quality on the boom isn't wonderful. I'm also aware of
the Hygain equivalent, but they look to be owned by MFJ now...

I'm sure M2 did one at one point, but the only dual band I can
see from them is a 5 ele on 2. I was looking closer to 9 ele to
be honest.

Does anyone know of any other supplier that does something
similiar to the Tonna ?
