Maco V58 CB base Antenna, Back on the Test Pole. 

Great idea on holding the gamma with string!!!!! . Mine bent down due to heavy snow. I had to pull the antenna down a few times to make that repair. Next time I will use the waxed string. Cheers MJ

Good ideas with the pvc piece for spacing accuracy and the waxed string for the birds. Cheers ! Gleno

In tune with ur bird story...I had s squirrel put a walnut in my gamma match on my V 2 quad....

Great video 26 rdx 17 manchester uk waving

I love my Maco V58!

MJ MAN ALL THAT YARD PUT YOU UP A TALL BOY 😂

MJ I know you ain’t in Mississippi or you would have the antenna in one of those tall Pines 🌲Owww we I see a goodn 😂Oh and the tires would be in the front yard on top of the van that doesn’t run 😂

I knew it you can do it...good Job, John. Happy Easter into the Palmetti State. 73 de Your Friend Uncle Günter from across the Pond 💯👍🙋‍♂

I wish I could find a v twin for a good deal. I loved that antenna.

Okay I didn’t catch the beginning of the video , now I see said the blind man , forgot you got a big one up already 😂

Oh man, now that you mention it I'll bet the birds are what did mine in also. lol

Back when Maco was Wilson, the V58 was sold with and without the radials. You could even try half length radials.

My V58 is at about 22 feet and it works great there.✌✌

Awesome looking 👌 😎 looks like good weather over there, the same here finally. You kids have a great weekend. 73s 🙌🦅🦅🦅🙏

Nice job MJ, to me those are your two main antennas..............thats all you need to work the world!

Tilt the quad on its side with the gamma vertical. It works fantastic. You get both polarity. We did it with a buddies and field tested it at a range of 50 miles at night with no skip. Great performance on both vertical and horizontal at the same time. 73 from 567 northern Minnesota.

MJ that’s funny, Bird 🦅 Watts 😂 you gonna have everyone putting wax string on their antennas thinking it will help swr’s , hay wait a minute I might try it 😂🤷‍♂️LOL NOW YOU GOT OLE WAGON MIGHT TRY IT, 😂 sorry Wagon no wax dental floss 😂

I used to have a Maco V5/8 wave. I loved it so much. It was on a 45' tilt down with 15' of mast. Using a Yaesu ft7b. Dead key 3/10 (.3) watts and swing 80+ watts. I talked all over the world with that set up.

It has been a while since I heard you on the radio. I'm glad you are doing well. Hopefully I will talk to you soon. 553 or TX53 , whichever I may go with .. 73s

Awesome !! I've got the sirio gpe 27 ground plane... I think I've seen you have one as well... hope to talk to ya when im done ARKANSAS !!!

With that macov5000 you have there run that turner plus 2 mic you going be alot good contacts my turner plus2 can work almost my radios it does work with cobra 139 i hope get my grant working tx it does work with receive. i think best money spent on turner plus 2. for 25$ on offer on ebay i talk down offer it was 50$ it was 3pin connected ran it 4pin it does great on quad5 you can run it without pin4.

Go buy the 'Grazioli G-Max' antenna, its almost 11 meters long unit!

I started using the spray version of Flex Seal on my coax connectors.

Tune!Thank

0:30. that's type pole mount two way i going with i cut. them 5ft they where 10ft from lowies. it's plumber pipe with my siro sy27 4 element

Nice lawn mower junkie 😉

Cool your macov5000 is back UDX-151..........

UDX-151 alot udx guys on channels 37 LSB you'll hear UDX-390 out there i heard him about week ago he was talking to Hawaii i heard on my quad 5 he was at S-7.

Did saw my robyn wv23 i getting 4 pin mic adapter for it i think turner m3+ it's bad element i bought for 10$off fb marketplace the radio works there nothing wrong chips they like brand new condtions inside the radio i was think turner mic.

Those birds are listening in on your conversations.

Send your pvc idea to maco you could get royalties!!!!$$$$

I can not get swr to be stable. It's not 2/1 in the rain. I've silicone caulked the vertical elements and all connections. Idk what else to do!

Still yhink you should converse with maco those inexpensive adaptions can save replacements,,,,oh yeah maco n business for money their list of repair parts more than the ads for total antenna!!!!$$$

when paint my macov5000 black bbq paint no birds land on it ever since we get alot birds in my area in tn we have alot red tail hawks here and raverns birds in tn.

Michigan and Detroit well up today here in UK ...whats the call and do you have a go to \ monitor frequency....will call and look for you over the Holidays...cool...

You should try get one toy drones scare birds it doesn't work on ducks i try it with my phantom 3 advance drone scare ducks out my pool back utah they wheren't afraid any wind from drone back 2020.
