I haven't purchased it yet, but am on the verge of doing so,
we'll see what the SWR situation is then. I'm not holding my breath,
might have to load up the feedline etc. with snap around chokes.

Bart -

Skip it an move on (DON'T BUY IT).
The radial field is 1/2 of the antenna - for a 1/4 wave vertical !!
IF $$ your problem, save your $$$ for the right antenna -- in your

You would be better served purchasing a 1/2 wave vertical ---
that does not require the radials field !!
