Baofeng Tacticool Antenna

That page and images are all forked up on my screen!
Is the antenna "tactical" or "cool" or both?
My military service spans several conflicts and we used everything from the old PRC77 "tape measure" type antennae, to normal Motorola (EF Johnson) VHF high band rubber ducks back 15 years or so ago. I wouldn't call any of those designs "cool" but I suppose you could say they worked well in tactical situations.

I ordered the 42" model and the 15+ ft jumper cable...
Direct from AABREE/Amazon site...
Free Ship from US/Dealer warehouse.
Be good to take on road trips for Motel room set-up.
Set in window or by sliding glass doors and sit radio on desk.
Be interested to see if I can hear local SKYWARN freq's from living room here also.
None of the so called "Super Ducks" could reach 20m even on RX...Had to move to window to hear them. So maybe get lucky and set antenna across the room in the West window and set radio on end table(where I keep TV/Theater remotes) and hear them.
Have my spare Comet Mobile 2-5/8th's stacked and tiger tail to get the job done before...but vy crummy in the living room on a Tea table. XYL loved that!!!
Our little Kitty thought it was a toy (the whip!
) Constantly getting knocked over
So see what happens...if it does not work, out $35 and get rid of too some new Tech!
All the Best
