<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think you'll be pleased with the thing. Got one
here. Had it and the A-99 up together at the same time. It's better than the
A-99 (although, in fairness,I had the A-99 cut for 29.2MHz). I've had great
results. You're going to think that whippy end will fail in high winds, but it
won't. One drawback...a few years from now if you take it down for some reason,
wear gloves. The fiberglass radome breaks down and will feel like a porcupine.
I've encapsulated the one here and L.I. with black tape. Material needed....a
nice day, an Adirondack chair, FM boombox radio, a 6 of suds and lots of
tape. I used the cheap Chinese tape(Champion) to wrap all sections
individually, then applied the more expensive 3M #33 tape strategically in
places to keep the chinesee stuff from unraveling. The one here in the backyard
has been wrapped for 7 years now....ok fine.</FONT></DIV>
