[Antennas] NMO Covert Antenna

[cboone at earthlink.net]

Everyone makes a 1/4wave NMO...eepcially Larsen...they DO make a dualband 19in antenna....I think its 3db on UHF....it has the corkscrew in the middle as the phasing coil for UHF...where is the "work" antenna?? 50watts wont be a problem unless the two antenna are touching...I run 100watts on a UHF Motorola Astro and it doesnt hurt my ham rig..(the antennas are less than 1ft apart)
