Could not agree more. The factory copper strip in the sternpost has always
worked brilliantly in G-JULZ. Spend your money on something useful.

Hi Bill.
Most of this antenna data, including the technical stuff has as sole purpose
to confuse and sell a piece of material worth 5 cents for 150 $.
Fact is, that the antenna should not be very good, otherwise it would not
work good enough over the whole bandwith. Interference (on reception) from
on board equipment is not caused by the antenna, but by interfering
equipment or its wiring Really, the 20 cents piece of copper to be cut and
glued as an antenna, as supplied with the kit works just fine. Actually
better then the 175 $ certified piece of aluninum on the club cessna :-)
There is so much more effect to be gained by spending the extra money on
real improvements!
