Well, I have ordered the "Junior" version of the HyGain Hytower vertical to
use as a Skimmer antenna.  I know all the reasons why a short active antenna
would be simpler but I prefer not to have an amp out in the woods attached
to a lightning rod... chuckle.  We will see how difficult it is to tune.  I
may end up with the Clifton Labs antenna if this doesn't work.
