Great Antennas! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
We are using three of the MONO4-20 since March 2019 and since October 2020 the MONO6-20. We are really happy with these antennas! When we build up the antennas, it was so smooth! Every part of the antennas were marked right, so the build up is really quick. We had high winds here in winter 2021, with up to 115 km/h, that was no problem for the antennas, everything is fine up and running. We made good results in the big contest like ARRLDX, CQWW, CQWPX! Thanks for the antennas Giuseppe and for the great support! 73 Louis DK4EE/DK3T/DM0A

Look no further, these are the antennas you been waiting for!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I own a PENTA10 and a MONO5-6 by MOMOBEAM and I'm completely satisfied with both of them. I bought mine directly from Giuseppe (IT9HBT MOMOBEAM Owner) in Italy 2 years ago, but now they are available for sale in the USA from HRO. The PENTA10 is very sturdy antenna with top notch materials. Works great on all bands from 20 to 10 with an impressive low SWR on all the bands covered. The MONO5-6 has the same heavy duty design and solid materials with a very wide bandwidth on 6 meters. Giuseppe is a fantastic person, his costumer service is impeccable, always ready to answer all my questions via emails in a very short time with detailed suggestions and/or instructions.

Sturdy construction! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
We have installed 16 Momobeam monobanders for HF and VHF in 2015.
In our location wind blows daily with general speed of 30-40 Mph easy getting to 80-90 Mph speed.
In 7 years time we never had a failure on Momobeam antennas even in this high stress situation.
Since 2020 on HF we have now 7 antennas on 10M, 6 on 15m and 6 on 20M and you can check our signal during any big contest of the year.
We also have 4 square on 80M with Momobeam verticals ( the ones purchased from an american seller stayed up 5 weeks) and a 160m vertical.
Momobeam is a super partner for our achivements.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Time owned: more than 12 months
If you are even thinking of buying a Momobeam antenna ..... DON'T .. I first learned about Momobeam at Dayton 2017. I was building a superstation on the coast of Maine and needed to buy antennas. The coast of Maine has a harsh climate with ice and high winds. ..The folks at Momonbeam assured me their antenna were up for the job so I purchased a 4 element 40 meter OWA yagi and three 16 element tribanders for stacking .. After a few months the boom of the 40 element yagi began to bend . By spring it bent so bad I had to hire a crane to take it down and replace it with a GXP yagi ( the gxp did fine during the last winter) .. If the boom would have broken off, it would have cut the guy wires, causing my tower to crash ..The folks at Momobeam sent me "parts" to fix the antenna and to reinforce the weak boom ( basically they admitted there was a design flaw in the boom) . It was of no use...it was cheaper for me to get a new antenna as the crane alone cost me almost $3000.00 a day .. 6 months later (October !!) the top 16 element tribander boom snapped in half and was dangling !!!! If the dangling 1/2 of the tribander would have broke off it would have cut the guy wires and the entire tower would have come down !! I Ray, W2RE rushed up to Maine from New York and risked his life to take down the broken piece and save the tower... Momobeam again offered to send me "parts " to fix the antenna and reinforce the boom.. If they knew there was a problem with the boom why didn't they reinforce it in the first place ?? They then offered to send me a new Antenna .. I said no way, I will never buy another antenna from them again.. Finally after much back and forth they sent me 1400.00 to cover the cost of the beam .. I now have to pay to not only take down the old Momobeam antennas but to buy, assemble and reinstall new antennas (GXP's). Also during the last winter I was able to use the remaining 2 Momobeam yagis ....except anytime there was ice on the boom the antennas did not work !! ...I also later learned I was not the only person to experience boom bending and breaking and that these failures occured in places with no ice. This spring I will 'lick my wounds" and replace the three Momobeam tribanders with proven GXP tribanders ..Conclusion ...If you must have an antenna with a square boom, consider Optibeam. It you want a solid , well made and excellent performing antennas at a reasonable price , check out GXP antennas..If you want to have a pile of aluminum scrap metal that will fail, look at Momobeam.

very performing antennas Time Owned: more than 12 months.
A few yars ago I bought a triband antenna TRI7 for 10-15 and 20 from MOMOBEAM.
The assembly was simple and fast, all the components are labeled in order to avoid any type of error.
I installed it on my tower and the antenna did not need to be calibrated, all the SWR curves were perfect. The antenna is sturdy and performing and after 3 years the antenna is still perfect in my very windy zone.
5 stars for the all the features.
I will buy another MOMOBEAM ( Moxon 6 elements ) for my summer home.

Great HF Antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Recently appeared in the market some new manufacturers of HF antennas, and luckily for me , this was at the moment when I needed to buy a new one for the WARC bands.
So after an extensive search among many different brands and models finally the MOMOBEAM brand. caught my attention. I examined features, compared to other brands and models and finally choose this brand considering its good relationship between quality and price. The momobeam MB4-2WARC, was the model that met my requirements. So I ordered it and added to the order the MB5-6, which is the 5 elements for 50 Mhz.
They arrived duly protected in a big wood box. They are built in EU-T6060 aluminium, INOX screws, sturdily built (boom and elements are 2mm thick), and assembling went smoothly as the instructions manual is explicity detailed.
Tuning process perfect!. SWR level is very low in most of the band, gain probably meets the stated specifications of 4.6/4.8 dbd, which are usually the standard for a 2 elements.
Their price is very interesting, 20% aprox. under the prices of its more direct competitor
The 6 m antenna really fantastic and very strong, as it is made with the same material as the HFantennas.
For those having space and a great garden they offer HF monobands arriving to 9 elements!!
I believe that these boys of Momobeam are doing a very good job!
More information will be found in their WEB page.
Luckily. I must punctuate them wth a high score Hi Hi

73, and join HF antenna
