I also thought the military frequency hopped alot,
meaning, either retune the antenna every time, or use
a really broadbanded antenna.  Plus, tunerless
antennas can be nice; it's one less thing to worry
about.

Jerry,

While you are correct in your remarks, I must  tell
you that I use one
of these B&W antennas with a commercial  100 watt
transceiver used by
non skilled operators and running ALE (Auto Link
Establish) for NSEP 
and
it does work surprisingly well.  

This is of course dependent on antenna height and
operating
frequencies.  Also, as pointed out by the Force 12
antenna guy...... 
"anything works"!

73,

Bill - K6WLM
