Very impressive Mike. Someone once posted that the lack of height might've help me making dx contacts. Something to do with angle of take off. Now I don't know if that's true but I lost 3ft in the last wind storm and hacked off that amount of mast because it bent. I'm at 7ft now but will be putting it up on a 4ft mast via an eaves mount. It will be peaking over my roof about 1ft. Which will put it approximately 21/23ft above the ground. I'm hoping to mainly get the swr down to a I.2:1 or lower. If I gain an s unit on the receiver side excellent. If I gain an s unit on the other end incredible. I will post a picture of the old installed next to the new. Thanks. 73
