Can anyone give me the specs on a UHF Phelps-Dodge "Stationmaster" omnidirectional vertical? I've searched the web, and can't find anything. Maybe someone else knows a place to look that I don't.

The Stationmaster is now produced by RFSCelwave, who bought Phelps Dodge.

First it was Phelps Dodge
Then, Celwave,
Now RFS/Celwave

I think you're looking for the great white stick? The heavy duty version, the super station master?

See if the model PD1151 is what you're looking for.

5 years ago it was known as the PD455 antenna and cost about $900. The site is http://www.rfsworld.com, but I've always found it hard to use. The 1151 is the current model number; the web site doesn't carry data on non-current products, but if you call them on the phone they can usually fax something to you.

If it is about 22 ft. long, it should be about 10db gain on UHF.
They made them in different splits, the most common would be 450 - 470 I believe, but they made lots of varieties.
They made higher gain, narrower bandwidth VHF ones, downtilt etc.
Unfortunately, the stickers are usually unreadable.
