Mosley Antenna's have been sold to the Government in somewhat large
quantities. Having worked on Government Contracts the better part of 40
years, I am quite familiar with their procurement methods and criteria for
acceptance.
If they were as bad as some folks say, then we taxpayers really got cheated.
But, somehow, I don't believe that.
And I beg to differ on the Country Count not being an indicator ... for
those of
us who are die-hard DX'ers, it's the only indicator of antenna performance,
IMHO.
