Review Summary For : MomoBeam DUO5 30/40T SF
Reviews: 1MSRP: $ 3,590.00
Description:
DUO5 30/40T SF is a spectacular dual-band yagi for the 7 and 10 MHz bands with incredible performance. On 30 meters it has three full size elements with Reflector/Driver/Director configuration; on 40 meters it has two elements with a Reflector/Driver configuration with compact size using loads placed at the ends of the elements. This solution, which was originally adopted by W6NL, allows to maintain the performance of a full size by reducing the size of the elements. Consequently, the performance of this antenna is comparable to a full-size and both bands are fully usable with SWR below 1.5:1 on over 200 kHz. It will no longer be necessary, during installation, to choose the portion of the band for which to optimize the antenna (typical characteristic of antennas with coils). You will have top performance!

Separate Feed antenna with unparalleled performance. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Giuseppe IT9HBT, Owner of MomoBeam assisted me after a storm destroyed my previous antenna and he came highly recommended to me by a close friend. After having a general call with Giuseppe about my requirements, it was clear he was highly competent and an expert in his field. Giuseppe gave me comprehensive advice and guided me on choosing the right antenna for my needs. After much discussion we decided that due to the high winds in my hometown of Messina (IT), we would opt for an antenna that can withstand high wind. After the antenna was custom built, we ran into a challenge not only with shipping due to the size but also challenges with the pandemic and Giuseppe went above and beyond and drove the antenna to my home which was over 350Km away from his factory. After the antenna was delivered it took me about 3 days to fully assemble the antenna. I could clearly see the high quality of the materials and parts used with the nuts and bolts being made of stainless steel, which will have a long life. A very important feature for my usage is that the antenna has 2 separate feed lines and can be used in SO2R. The antenna was seamless to assemble and when needing any spare parts or pieces for general maintenance , Giuseppe took care of my needs free of charge. The antenna has been in use since August 2020 and has been hit by incredibly strong winds and it is still working perfectly ever since installation. The lobe is wide at 40 MT and in 30MT the antenna gain is outstanding (3 elements full sides). Thanks to the performance in 30MT I was able to work most wanted #2 which was Bouvet 3Y0J! Money well spent because the antenna outperforms what I expected.
