....retiring my Maco 5/8 and replacing with Penetrator SPT500. Hope the measurements work for me as well. Thanks for the post!!

Don't be surprised if you feel the Maco shot skip a little better because the angles of RF take off are a little different. A now SK friend of mine was all about DX and not into local chitchat and he actually preferred the Maco for DX but it was short DX back then, mostly only 1-2 states away. Might be a different story when it comes to cross-country or international DX.
But I bet you'll like the SPT-500 better for local ops
Hi everyone!!!
I have just bought my SPT 500 antenna and i have a question, somebody knows what is the bandwidth for this antenna, i try to use it for 26 and 27 mhz but a canīt get it, or maeby iīm did something wrong when i assembled it, thanks in advance, 73īs!!!
I used these messurements exactly thinking I would be good to go, nope, SWR is off the scale on 11 meters and the best I can do on 10 meters is 2.5 on 28.300 and 3.5 on 28.500, so what works for one doesn't necessarily work for everyone! I've adjusted the antenna all over the place and not one messurement I've found on the net works! I'll work with a little more and see if I can get it, if not I will send it back for a different antenna or put my Starduster back up!
