No one said it resonates better. Hopeless to try to argue with you...You
obviously have no clue to what you are talking about...You win....

OK Mr. Facts. Explain how does your commercial Station Master resonate
"better" than any other amateur antenna? 1st off your direct ground means
squat when it comes to VHF/UHF antenna performance, all it does is provide a
lower resistance path for discharges (which is terrible for the radio unless
all the grounds are tied together).

On VHF/UHF a sealed brazed piece of #12 copper wire is just as durable as
your 1/2" tubular aluminum (not to mention electrically superior). You must
be one of those guys that actually believes that because an antenna is $500,
it actually performs better................NOT.

PS: My "knockoff" antenna has been servicing a repeater superbly for the
past three years (its also on the highest communications tower in the state
of RI).
