Hell it is all cheap Chicom crap!


For the record, http://www.greaterland.com is not a "Chicom"
product, as you indicate. It is a company in Taiwan, a Democratically
governed company.

Understood, but I have similar feelings as this "Troll" does. 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.

The borders are open, you could always go there for good.

Hello John,

The one you bought back on 05/06/02 is not one of the current
models
that we are selling. Sometime back when it was brought to our
attention that the former models of these antennas had wind
survivability problems we changed manufactures. The new manufacture
is providing much heavier duty units that do not exhibit the same
problem.

The former models came from he

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.

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. :( Glad to hear you've improved the product,
and you'll be hearing from me before the new year.

Mark,

For around $60, you can get a decent new antenna. I have the Anli-A100
(http://www.anli.com/Webpage/wP7.html). Very sturdy, well built antenna. I
got mine from Advanced Specialists (http://www.advancedspecialties.net/)
I'm not affiliated, just a satisfied customer.

I'll second Tom's opinion of the Anli A100. It's a superbly made antenna and
performs much better than the Cushcraft AR-270 it replaced.

Thanks to both of you for the info. I'll certainly have a look.

Funny thing...I'm replacing an AR-270 also...
