I like it. It's well built, it works great, Kale does a killer job on them, and you can get parts if needed real easy. Oh!, and there made in the USA.

Yeah they really are pretty light. Strong as heck but light.

I got mine from this place, but you can call Kale the guy that builds them and order from him also. I don't have his number.http://www.johnspredator10kantennas.com/products.html

Consider a 55r4 . You can get them from Terry or FatBoy. Well made, light, and broad banded.
Yes sir, it sure is a heavy one, it's one of the original monkey made antennas right from the storage unit in Daytona beach, fl I bought mine right from monkey man himself, it was the large 3 wrap coil I believe it's called the big coil or something, it was a good antenna, tuned to 1.1 swr at 50ohms on an mfj analyzer. But like you said its heavy, my plate for it is made of 1/2" cutting board type material 10"X10" square, had it mounted on a 89 jeep Cherokee, about a foot off back end of the roof. I also was running a 1x2 foxy made from Lakeland, fl and a 54 Steele made 8 pill behind it. Did pretty good, had 2 deka unigy 150 amp hr batts. As well, all stock alternator on 12 volt system. That was in 2003. Been a while since I have played with anything big, I am a 2 pill mud duck now lol.
