11 meter is very quiet?

With the mount, HD spring, and 102" SS whip is approx 108". A99 is 17'-0". An A99 is 1/2 wave, where 108" is 1/4" wave antenna. A99 is fiberglass, a 102" is stainless steel. 1/2 wave should out perform a 1/4 wave. Wind load of a 102" is less than 17'-0". Can straighten SS Whip with a hatchet, fiberglass you cannot. Can polish SS Whip with steel wool, sand paper, or a file....obviously with fiberglass you cannot. A99 has 3 sections, 102" whip is one piece. You can beat your little brother with a 102" whip and straighten it back out...an A99 will shatter into splinters, and with any luck some will be embedded in his ass. ;)

Antenna only bent a littleView attachment 33817
Hmmm....you did bend it, a little. Couple small combo wrenches, box end over antenna. Maybe a bench vice. I've got a hatchet I use.

Yes, a hatchet......the flat side. Antenna on wood surface.

Wait....
You just ordered that? From Amazon? If so you can ship back for free, free replacement. Geeze. I'd wanna whoop somebody.

Yep, thats how it got delivered yesterday from Amazon.
It was shipped in a crappy cardboard box, not in a pvc tube like others received.. Came from Oregon.
I wonder if they had to bend it to fit it in the mail truck.
