[Elecraft] Rick & antennas...

[Tom Fitzgerald]

"The Buckmaster never wins compared to inverted vees though, but it DOES tune up on multiple bands.  It and the Elecraft tuner get along fine, so it serves its purpose (which is NOT high performance)."

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????????? 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.
