Lou,
I wonder if the Titan would work mounted on a roof. Judging by the base
you used, it sounds like a pretty hefty antenna. Do they make a version
that covers fewer bands? I'm thinking I want a vertical for 20 and above,
but would rather use a dipole for 40 and 80. I think you have to have a
pretty extensive radial system for a vertical to play well on 80.
