By the way, antennas never intimidated me much ...

The stacked 6 element hygain or mosley (modified CB antenna) on a 100
ft. tower with a ham m rotor was a real signal magnet and ionosphere
burner ... I still have that antenna leaning up against a shed in the
back 40 ...

Only real problem with that antenna was forgetting to face it into the
high winds in a storm and ripping the gears in the rotor.
