I was the Echo on my team before I became the Fox and I personally tried to keep the guys away from field expedient antenna's, because in most cases they are just that. COAX is great in a pinch, but your looking at a -3db loss with the BNC couplers and on a 5W radio, that’s a loss of 3.5W's. Couple that with radiating a signal through a shielded coaxial cable and the performance of the radio is severely diminished. I have enough problems with the guys complaining about not making comms with the issued equipment, I don't need to compound my problems. Especially when the bullets start flying.

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air with all our might and all our strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I answer in one word: Victory Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill
