Fellow listers,

Has anyone had any personal experience (or personally knows of
someone who has) of the antenna mentioned in the subject
line??

Gap says it is "E Field dominant vertically polarized" to
quote their manual.

It looks awfully like a modified form of an E-H antenna.  They
also mention Feed line radiation of 20db and switch line
radiation of 20 db!!

Again quoting their manual;
Efficiency >90%
Performance - exceeds typical full size 1/4 vertical

If true - this is an antenna that can be stuffed in the attic
!!
