[Antennas] Vertical comparisons

Thu, 15 Jan 2004 20:50:41 -0500

Hate to differ, but I would go with Butternut, no top-hat and other gizmo's
to fool with. Butternut antennas do stand up to high winds without the need
for guy ropes. Been using butternut verticals of one type or the other for
about the last 30 years, never had one blown down. The one I have now is up
40 feet and has withstood 60~70 mph winds.
