"CLOSING STATEMENTS: The Antron 99 will NOT outperform any of the other typical 5/8 or 1/2 wave antennas like the popular 'Ringo'. However, for a modestly priced fiberglass antenna that is less visually intrusive than the 'ground plane' style antennas, it will certainly meet those needs"

" The Antron 99 has 1.8 dB gain on the horizon over an isotropic radiator. Referenced to a center-fed 1/2 wave dipole, which is the industry standard, the Antron 99 has a NEGATIVE gain of 0.3 dB."
