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 .
you should copy my vector nothousand
