I was not familiar with KU4AB. So, I went to the KU4AB website. He has some
interesting antennas, at good prices. The tri band antenna looks very
interesting. But, if he doesn't perform, it isn't very cheap or very good.
Maybe somebody will forward these posts to him.

AJ4LU and I used one for several run and gun rover ops, covering 20+ grids at
70 MPH. We even turned it in motion with no issues other than mounting it
backwards the first time!
