Patriot Pat-12 High SWR

I thought about getting one of those but didn't want to wait on it. Thye're fantastic. Whereas I had to wrap my mast with electrical tape so it wouldn't become part of the antenna system, this bracket has the antennas completely isolated from the bracket itself so you can bolt it directly to the mast. And you don't have to worry about where to place nylon washers. It's ready to go.
Just screw in the antennas!

On another note, having mine in the horizontal position made it real easy to run the feedline (coax) away from the antennas at the required 90 degree angle for the suggested 1/4 wave length. I ran my coax straight down the mast for 15'. Hence, no problem obtaining a good SWR.
