The two well known amateur radio antenna manufacturers in the UK are
Sandpiper and Moonraker. Both are small family owned and run

specific market. I would not necessarily say that they are whiz-kids
in antenna design theory - in fact I somehow doubt that they actually
design them themselves (my sincere apologies to either/both if I am
wrong) - but they both know what they are talking about from a
construction and use standpoint.

I'm certainly sceptical of Moonraker, in both build quality and
technical knowledge! I understand that sandpiper will actually construct
custom antennas on a one-off basis, or in fact scale some of their range
for different bands, I'm not sure if any other manufacturers will do
that or not.

Saying that I've had no experience of sandpiper, although the GM3VLB
mini-delta looks reasonable, and is not too expensive! I've had some
minor things from Moonraker, and the build quality left something to be
desired, but that is only a very limited experience of the company.
