Ok Guy's. Has anyone hear of this antenna.(It's a base antenna) I pick it up at a Ham Shop for only $75.00. Still New in the box. I just set it up to see if it work's. Guess what? After I hook it up and tested with my MFJ 259-B. It read's 1.2 on 26.750 thru 27.850. With a reading of R=50 X=0 on 27.150 thru 27.485 with swr of 1.1 I had to check again to make sure what Im seeing is the real Numbers. And it is. I know that MC and Doc know alot about antenna's. So does anyone know anything about this President Black Pirate Antenna. I only bought it becouse of the price.
Thanks Guy's
Tom
 

Did some Googling - seems to be a well built antenna as far as standing up to some pretty strong winds. I'd double check the SWR with a few watts after actually installing it. That wide of a bandwidth usually means that something is causing power loss somewhere.
