very rarely do i see a omni cb antenna guyed . most folks seem to put them up at what ever height they can get the mast up to on the side of their house or tree . FWIU the FCC hasn't enforced the CB antenna height rule in decades ... if ever . i doubt very few of those folks would put a taller antenna on a shorter mast/feed-point unless it violates a HOA rule and the HOA strictly enforces their rule .... or they knew or suspected that the shorter omni was gonna do better than the taller omni . example ..... i expect a penetrator 500 or a gainmaster to do better than a taller imax 2000 ....

homer , at some point can you compare the merlin vs. your vector homebrew with their tips at the same height ? i'd expect a RF bloodbath with similar feedpoints ..... just saying .
