Seriously, can anybody give us a PRACTICAL explanation of possible advantages

The X-terminator has minimal gain over the 108" SS, so why can't this
be attributed to a minimal property difference?

Will it make any difference at all
in the s-meter of the other person?

If you look closely yes.

Will it at least be as efficient as the
SS whip?

No..... The 108" SS trims trees much better.

How much signal loss is the trade off to save height?

None

So what you are saying is that I get less performance from a 8 foot 5 inch
SS whip than if I had a 5 foot base loaded X-terminator?

BS.
