The pileup buster

The DX performance of our RB-506 is awesome even when it is operated as low as 2 wavelengths above ground. This 5 element wide spaced mono-band beam is easily supported by a medium duty tower, and turned with a medium duty rotor. When mounted at 60 to 75 ft. or higher it is the ultimate contest beam -- and truly a force to be reckoned with.It will compete with yagis with up to twice the boom length, and you'll hear the weak ones better due to its low noise characteristics. Its supergain performance is backed by a money-back guarantee.
