Good luck..
Glad you mentioned that; good catch. This is a rather neat antenna and has some EMCOMM uses which I've been exploring however, as dimensioned, it either needs loading coils or has to be recut a good bit longer for civ use (or use a heckuva good tuner). Not sure how much VSWR the 150 handles w/o its coupler but I recall seeing some pretty high numbers outside the 5.9 or 9.1 MHz areas as presented at the feedpoint.

bravo22b, I'll assume hiding means just that & roof-top footprint isn't an option, or is that available as something for the AS-2259, which I think is now Harris' RF-1936?

Good luck; watching with interest (again).
