Unbelievably it showed up today. But the dumbass FedEx driver went through a foot of snow to deliver it to a door that is not used never knocked or ring and left a note will deliver tomorrow.

I think I found the replacement for my A99, Sigma Venom 5/8 Wave

Well at least it showed up, that was a concern at one point wasn’t it? That figures with FedEx, even USPS. I had a great postman, a female. She changed routes, got another one and she’s awful. Just pulls in the drive and blows the horn, you can’t hear that in my shop behind the house. I retrieve a lot of packages from the post office now.
A foot of snow? Where you at? Are you gonna be able to put it up anytime soon and try it out?

It looks just like an antenna that I used to see on homes back in the early 70's. It is a lame half-wave design, no different electrically than the old Radio Shack half-wave ground plane with the little loops on the top (remember those?) and no better performance than your A99. The half-wave does not directly match to 50-ohm coax so there is a transformer in the base for impedance matching. Don't try to use a big amp with it. I giggle to see that design being marketed again. Too funny!
No Transformer in the Basin this antenna much longer than an a 99 and The Sun Won't rot it out like those crap fiberglass antennas. I had a half Wave radio shack ground plane antenna back in the seventies it was a great antenna I hope this works as well
