greetings guys;

i playing catch up as i could not get back on last night...

it appears to me that "physically" the AP top is a 1/8 wave, but electrically it is a 1/4 wave with the top hat and the hat does not need to measure out physically to exhibit the 1/4 wave, i'm sure you are aware of that. And so you just have to explain it as such.

Now with the 12' mast info you provided BM and thanks, which i had not had time to look up the distance exactly (which is why i referenced the 20' max height restriction of when it was designed for)...12'+9'(electrical)=21' very close to the 5/8 wave they describe on the original box and it would fit nicely for those folks observing the max legal limit at the time!
