Yeah, I was aware that the A99 was an entry level antenna when I threw it up there, which was right after J6. I was into CB's as a young lad but lost interest once I got into cars and women, but all the uncertainty as of late rekindled my interest into radio. From there one thing led to another and I now have my general and an HF as well.
I concur that height is a strong factor and I also agree that an omni directional upgrade would in all likelihood benefit my situation. The question is which would be most beneficial towards what I am trying to accomplish?
At this point, based on further research, I have nixed the SY-4 from the equation but the M104c mounted vertically mid roof and leaving the A99 of to the side is still being contemplated as an option. The idea of blocking out signals from the sides and behind appeals to my goal. That being said, I am beginning to wonder which would be the better option bang for buck, as well as effort.
If I were to opt for just replacing the A99 with another omni directional would you have any solid recommendations, Mike (or anyone else)? I'd consider this if I felt confident a new omni would accomplish my goal. it sure would make things easier. But hey, maybe I could buy both and if I found that a new omni accomplished my goal I could put the M104 under it and use it for DX...and there goes the budget.
Anywho, this is why I am doing some research before I dig myself a hole, so all this input is being taken into consideration in making my final decision.
Much Appreciated...
