I know this group hates the GAP Titan, and I can't blame you, I hate it too. But I own one and circumstances limit me to its use. It's mounted 5 feet off the ground. Without raising too much of a nei

Rod - I'm not sure "exactly" why this group "hates" the GAP Titan. I have one an I am very pleased with it. If one puts this up and expects quad or mono-band beam performance then, sure, they will be

I haven't owned a GAP, but a good friend, K2RM, had one for a couple of years. Rarely two months went by when some physical part didn't fall off into his back yard...literally! He tried everything i

Maybe it could be their trying to re-invent the way vertical antennas work and their deceptive ads(that prey upon unknowing new hams) that we don't like. If the instruction book on any vertical ante

Dear OM Phil, K5PC Sorry you are so misinformed. The GAP verttical is not a vertical per se, it is a vertical dipole! Adding radials to a GAP is the worse thing you can do. The recommended wires are

Guys, Verticals radiate poorly in all directions. However, they radiate!!! It gets you on the air to have FUN! Key word is "FUN". In defense of GAP, I've owned a an "Eagle" for many years. I've moved

Apparently some folks have never heard of Loctite(TM). Works wonders on British motorcycles and GAP verticals. The GAP is a vertically-polarized half-wave dipole. Radials are unnecessary. The counter

Dr. Dave... It's obvious from the responses that most GAP owners have had little trouble. Had my friend's problem been universal, GAP would have been out of business long ago. I'm glad he was the exc

If you're comparing a ground-mounted 1/4-wave Marconi to a roof-mounte Marconi, you're correct. Elevated radials is a different scenario and probably the comparison would then be to ground-mounted or
