: Try this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0735&category= 4672 or this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...8202&category= 4672 No I don't have an interest in the place, I just ran across these and am going to purchase one my self. As someone who now has one of these antennas laying in a heap in his yard, if you're in an area prone to high winds, I'd think twice. The antenna was a fine functioning one, but upon an evening of 45-60mph wind gusts, and a year in the air, it crumpled. From looking at it, I'd say their cost savings comes from a cheaper fiberglass tubing on the exterior. john |

The former models came from he http://www.ningbo-export.com/prosound The current models are coming from he http://www.greaterland.com If you'll gather up the pieces of the damaged one from the heap and send them back to us along with a copy of your sales receipt we will see if we can get it replaced for you.

Just wanted to make the facts clear in that the one Amateur product supplier mentioned was not in Communist China. I try to buy my amateur radio gear made in USA but it is tough to compete prices with the great stuff from the East. Ed WB6SAT |

Tim Antenna Warehouse 812 South Washington Blvd. Camanche, Iowa 52730 563-259-0840 M-F 10am-5pm (Central time) http://www.antennawarehouse.com Tim, I'll do just that over the next week or so. I just failed last week, figured 'buyer beware' and It was tough bananas for me. I'd be elated if something could come of it. For the record, the mounting portion, ground plane, and bottom of the center element are still in the mount, and it works wonderfully recieving uhf..lol But upon inspecting what lay in the yard, it looked like little more than a glorified cardboard tube. ![]() and you'll be hearing from me before the new year.
