Playing devil's advocate, have you done any polar plots, what type of
polarization, what's the efficiency, field trials at other locations,
overall specs, power limitations, physical limitations, wind load,
liabilities if I use this product, is exact feed line length (you state 1
electrical wavelength length) a firm requirement, etc. etc. Review most
reputable antenna manufacturers and you'll find lots of specs. You should
model your presentation along those lines. Telling us you worked several
stations with the antenna mounted next to you is not very scientific data
to promote a sale. I can load up a metal bed spring or one of my aluminum
drain pipes and make contacts under the right conditions. You need to
pitch why this product is the best thing to come along over similar type
products already on the market (i.e. a pair of ham sticks with center
connecting bracket mounted on a broomstick and stuck in a floor mounted
flower pot).
