    HI Q antenna

    I have a few of my coils here still. one was great on 75/80 you are more than welcome to them. if you have a MFJ-259,269 or can get your hands on one it will definately speed up the tuning process. Oh don't forget Bonding, bonding, did i mention Bonding?

    HI Q antenna

    Hamer, i run a 5/160 marine on my suburban, it was a PIA to get the shunt coil matched up(5 tries) the biggest thing is the bonding with this antenna. It is very time consuming, and tedious. or you could do what a lot of others do and use a MFJ-910 matcher. I tried that route for 4 days and...

    Why the gain?

    Wow if this isn't a loaded question! The ole gain game, stick with a 102" whip, like as previously stated. If you can't use one (mounting, body issues) that's when the elevated coil will come into play, as far as more "gain" well it's your money.
