Overpriced. A fool and his money are soon parted.


There is no way I want a coil at the base of my antenna. Coils choke
the current. Coils should be at the top of an antenna. Jay's antenna
has no power wasting coils in the base. On the contrary, Jay's
antenna transfers more power to the antenna then with lossy
matching methods, like a coil at the base of an antenna.

My mobile CB antenna is a Firestik KW-7. The coil is at the top.
I can talk anywhere I hear with two MRF455's. I do 120 watt peaks.
I get out just as far as I did with the 667, use less current and
don't wipe out people I can't hear with a 2 pill biased box.
