Everything seems to be made in the US now...before I can consider an
antenna
I have to think $130+ postage...

I hadn't even realized. Quite right.

The Gem site I had visited before...I've just had a glance at the Mosley
site...I'll investigate thoroughly later...

Enjoy, but like I said...really expensive. (Unjustifiably so.)

20 years ago the UK was awash with Italian & US made antennas now it's a
hard slog...

I remember all the Italian (CTE) antennas here as well. In the mid-80's I
used a Sigma 3/4...cheaply made and before I actually started to read up on
antenna theory. (Looked like an ice cream cone with a very long radiator
running up the center and a gamma match.)

Thanks for the extra info...

You're quite welcome.

Funny, heard a G6*** today on 10 in the mobile. (Quite strong signal.)
