What do you guys think of the Gap Antennas - they have the Titan, etc.

How many of you have had experience with
elevated radials? Four elevated radials at the correct length and
height are supposed perform as well as many ground mounted radials.


Mine is sitting on a pile in the back of my yard, and replaced by
a Steppir BigIR. On 40, and 80 the Titan is nearly worthless. On
the other bands, it is marginally useful. Compared to a BigIR,
fogettaboutit (I live in Jersey now). The BigIR acts as a 3/4
wave on 15 through 6 meters.

Hi Bob,

Would it be a good guess that your BigIR system includes a substantial
in-ground radial system? And do you have it guyed?
