A few people have suggested the Wellborn 1530, but it looks a bit
cumbersome. I have 2 other options with a wire antenna. Check out the
diagrams I made and let me know if any of these are feasible and if so,
what my best bet would be for this type of application. I sincerely
appreciate all feedback. The 1530 is definitely still an option that is
available to me still... would it still be better than one of the below
setups?
