Yeah I've seen this and several others who make them but I don't want to pay that much for a simple wire antenna that I could easily make myself for a fraction of the price. I have never understood why Ham's would buy something that is so easy to make their self. But they sell lots of G5RV's, Dipoles, Bazookas etc. I can understand buying a Yagis, a multi band vertical, and Quads that can be more complex, but simple wire antennas??? Anyway I will have to model it and see what I can come up with.
