Maco Shooting Star - 8 Element 14db Gain Base Antenna

Click to enlarge When performance at a price is your main consideration, look at the 8 element Shooting Star. Developed to fill the need for top performance, dual polarity operation, the Shooting Star has a gain of 14db. That's like transmitting with 28 times normal power!! The design uses a 16- foot boom with six scientifically-spaced elements and a quad reflector to obtain the best combination of gain and front-to-back ratio.
