Definitely some Gospel truth contained within that last post.

I am still hoping to be wrong about my expectations of the modded Salute losing to the .64 & 5/8 designs, because I want it to win. I like it's appearance better than a 4-radial CB looking thing on my roof. That 'ice cream cone' looks cool and now I wish I would've kept my LW-150 just in case all the monopole hoopla proves true.

- But mostly, I would LOVE to increase my omni performance since I find it the most used antenna in my airspace.

I don't see any reason a couple of obviously sharp operators such as Bob85 & Shockwave would be interested in propagating BS, nor do they seem the type to be too obtuse to tell a better performing antenna from naught so I actually have high hopes that I simply didn't find the right tuning for my old LW-150 waaaaaaaaaaaay back in '88... dang it, but that I WILL in a week or seven for Serge, thus spurring me on to fab one for myself from what else but...

Penetrator parts!

But I admit, I still have my doubts.

- We'll see soon enough.

[QUOTE="CDX-007, post: 171321, member: 1254"] Definitely some Gospel truth contained within that last post. I am still hoping to be wrong about my expectations of the modded Salute losing to the .64 & 5/8 designs, because I want it to win. I like it's appearance better than a 4-radial CB looking thing on my roof.
