V5/8 pics?

Post by lifesaver68 »

Anyone have pics of their V5/8 setups? I just got a steal on one, and although I've read nothing but good reviews on them, I wasn't sure I wanted to get one because of the size. I've read the dimensions but have never actually seen one live, and it would be much easier to put into perspective what I'm getting if I could see real-life pics.

The two guys on the ground are 998 and a friend of mine, I had lowered the antenna down to them. I was hanging on the tower so I would not have to climb down and back up. Guess thats being lazy!!!

Cool guys, thanks for the pics. Gives me a much better idea of what I'll be dealing with.

I got the V58 AND an A99 for the price of a V58 alone. Don't know what I'll do with 2 antennas; if nothing else I know I'll have a backup. I suppose I could put both of them up, along with my dipole, and have my own little antenna farm. My wife will love me :roll: . Worst thing is, I'll have them next week but can't use them where we're living. We're moving in April, and I bought them to use at the new house (can't pass up a good deal when it comes). So I'll have to look at the box for 2 months drooling over it :( .
