antenna question
I'm looking at the hustler g6-270 and the diamond x50a; I live near the
ocean so need a fiberglass ant, which I believe both of these are. Does anyone have an opinion on either ant? Richard K1TAV |

Periodically paint fiberglass antennas with automotive acrylic enamel. Start when you take it out of the box. Jimmie |

I live on the coast and I've found aluminum will be the first to go (about five years or less depending upon the alloy) while my white unpainted fiberglass held up over 12 years before showing signs of fiberglass disintegration. When I replaced it with the same model antenna I spray painted the new antenna with two coats of black Krylon fusion. Danny, K6MHE |
