That's some neat antennas you have. My SS 101.5" Radio Shack whip radials droop under their own weight. I think that if I use pcv bracing they'll be at the angle that aligns with the threaded holes in the GPK-1.

I looked at the models you've provided. The 108" downward slanted radials provide a minimal advantage over the 72" ones. If I use the 72" fiberglass radials that the GPK-1 came with the radials will be at a better angle.

The pic is from Marconi's model with 72" downward pointing radials. Never mind the 'H' designation,he corrected the antenna model picture that goes with this one.

[QUOTE="Lil'Yeshua, post: 450210, member: 28438"] That's some neat antennas you have. My SS 101.5" Radio Shack whip radials droop under their own weight. I think that if I use pcv bracing they'll be at the angle that aligns with the threaded holes in the GPK-1. I looked at the models you've provided. The 108" downward slanted radials provide a minimal advantage over the 72" ones. If I use the 72" fiberglass radials that the GPK-1 came with the radials will be at a better angle.
