tom:
yes, that clears up what i was wondering about the antenna.
The buddy pole.com web site gives some specs but no really detailed specs on
the antenna...i get the impression that you have to change out coils or at
least, move the tap when using the antenna for different bans.
I think, though, perhaps it would work on maybe 2-3 bands at a time without
having to change the tap position?
Reminds me a bit of a mobile antenna with the coils you can change on the
road for different bands.
Regards
Colin
