Egad, Cecil! It's evident I wasn't too bright years ago when I showed why the

thought of marketing it instead of panning it. As you said, Cecil, with the
higher loss available using RG-174 vs RG-17, think of how rich we could have
become if we'd let the morons continue to believe what a great antenna it is,
and sold em with 174.
I wasn't too bright either, Walt. I should have bought up
a bunch of "Reflections II" when they were available. :-)
Somebody over on eHam.net just reported a used one for sale
for $180.00.
Wow. I'm hanging on to my autographed copy of the original. When
Social Security goes broke, I'll have something to fall back on.
