These 2 1/2 waves the terry and FB were not mine.. i only had a short period of time to mess with them. One thing i found impressive.. the 55 came in 2 tubes.. and numerous sections.. all marked from terry.. all we did was match the marks as he had them.. assembled and hooked up an mfj.. and holy crap tuned awsome almost right away.(not sure how he could do that) The FB 1/2 wave is pretty impressive looking and is nothing to take lightly.. We ran a pretty stout AC box thru them... the transmitting station was in highlands NJ the listening station in waretown nj about 30 or more miles now that i look at mapquest. Both did well with the rx stations rf gain 50%.. the Terry was 2.5 db stronger then the fb with more fwd swing on the rx station.. with the ac box not touched when we swapped.
I dont have a bunch of antenna sw to really analyze them. I will get a terry 1/2 wave setup to park and talk skip with eventually. Or possibly see if Noisemaker would get involved with trying to build 1/2 waves. I do not run ac in the mobile.. i run a Orig dave..4x20 - thru terry 55's at the moment in a bounceback setup.. love it..But am itching to try a 1/2 wave setup.
Only thing ..terrys 1/2 waves are for PARKING/keying" they are a bit "whippy" do not plan on going anywhere with them up there.

Oh yeah and thanks for the quick response and the good info. I was already pretty convinced i wanted to try terrys version over the fatboy
Version but my main question still remains the same im very interested in buying a quarter wave and a half wave from terry but before i put up $800 or $900 for a half wave antenna i would like to see if its worth the time if there is truly a 10 to 20 db gain sitting still that is well worth
Every penny but if i stop park and sit still test the two antennas and get nothing but a
3 db gain i would be alittle bummed by the way my application would be just a single antenna
Omni directional on a ford f150 with a 7 pill i intend on using to drive a 32 pill.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. And thanks again d-max for responding and giving me your real world experience with
The product.
