what are the advantages of one antenna over the other and would there be any difference in their performance? |

The Maco Comet has a Quad reflector wire which should give it alittle better rejection. Other then that performance is probably close to the same. On the Maco HV3 you can assemble the horizonial for 11 meters and Verticle for 10 meters or Vice Versa. Or they can both be assembled to the same meter band. |

I see the last post here was in 2005. I would like to know the same thing. Has anybody got one since then? Is there a review on either, I can't find it? One of these seems perfect for my use. Seems rejection on Comet is better. If you got one how broadbanded is it? The HV3 could be fun too, if I tune flat side for SSB upper freq.s and Vert. for lower AM freq.s, wow got to do some thinking on these.... |

738, Go to: Ask The Tech » Installations » MACO M-103HV MAXIBEAM ANTENNA INSTALLATION! They are still UP and WORKING GREAT and nothing has changed. (Just look at my CEF Contacts I have posted for the last 2 weeks) Lon Tech808 CEF808 N9CEF CVC#2 |

Thanks found it, never checked that area before. Think that is what I will go for, can set vert. for low AM talking, and Horz. for high side SSB DXing! Little longer than what I wanted for my location, but I can make it work! Tnx! |
