[MilCom] Niljon Super M Base

[GeorgeF.]

I have both the Base and Mobile versions of this antenna.   The mobile 
version is the best antenna I have ever used for MilAir listening while 
mobile, I can't say enough about it.  It also does a good job for 2m and 
440 transmit but not quite as well as the Comet mobile I have for vhf/uhf 
ham xmit.

Now the base is also a good antenna.  Far better than the Diamond (or any) 
discone!  The NilJon base is my second favorite omni-directional ant for 
MilAir listening.  And for the size you can't beat it.  My favorite 
omni-directional ant for MilAir listening however is the 
AntennaWarehouse.com ScanTenna.  Nothing out there can beat that antenna 
(however it's a little larger than a NilJon) for MilAir without going to a 
directional antenna.

However I'm not impressed with 2m and 440 MHz xmit on the base NilJon, I 
have a Diamond X-50 for my VHF/UHF ham station which does better.  However 
for what you want the NilJon is without question better than the discone 
for MilAir
