The Cushcraft MA5B

I would highly recommend this antenna to anyone looking for a beam with a small "footprint" and big results. It is up only about 25 feet and I easily work around the world with it. It is a two-element beam on 10-15-20 and a rotating dipole on 12 & 17 meters. 5-bands..one antenna! Incidentally, the rotator shown (an inexpensive Radio Shack unit which is a little too lightweight for this beam) has been replaced by a Yaesu G450A rotator. My dipole (center anchored at garage peak) is cut for 30 but tunes up great on 40 with the MFJ949E.
