[SFDXA] $50 base dual band antenna deal

[Mike Williams]

E-ham. net has a review on this and gave it an OK (3.8) rating, reviewed 
by a couple of hams of course.  I paid a hundred bucks for a Comet dual 
bander some years ago and it still functions just fine.  This Tram unit 
looks almost identical and for the price may be a good deal.  Don't call 
me if it quits on your tower however!
