    but i'll suggest spending a little more and getting a hygain penetrator .

    i would suggest a vector 4000 , but i doubt it would hold up in the texas weather ......
    you could home-brew a stronger version though .

    For a little more you can get a "Zerofive" Colossal 5K 5/8 wave ground plane antenna...they cost a little more, but can handle the wind up to 100 MPH.

    Read some of the reviews on Zerofive Antenna's.

    Thanks , Texas weather here in Central texas has been very dry but we do have wind sometimes 25-30 mph with gusts to 50 mph, so you recomnd the vector 4000 hygain over the Maco 5000 ?

    i would not recommend the vector in high wind or areas with much snow fall .

    the hygain penetrator will easily handle your 50mph winds and will perform as well as any other 5/8 wave or .64 wavelength antenna in the same location . but if you're running multiple thousands of watts the 5K or a $500 coily may be what you need since the interceptor 10k is not being made anymore .

    Being in Central Texas...Snow fall shouldn't be a factor...But if Central Texas is anything like North Texas, "Wind" is defiantly something to consider...Main reason I haven't put a base antenna up yet, but I do have it in the planning stages...
