People shoot skip mobile all the time. Ive keyed on alot of base antennas but that doesn't mean those guys had crummy antennas. I was just in the right place at the right time with just enough power.

The gainmaster is overpriced for what you get and but they are aren't bad antennas. I agree they are a better design than an a99 or imax but I'd take a 5/8 ground plane over a gainmaster any day.

The vector 4000 will outperform the 5/8 but the guys around here that have one have to worry more about wind than I do. To be fair I will say their antennas are home brew copies of the vector. They seem to be well built but catch a lot of wind.
