If all I was doing was rag chewing on CW and not chasing DX or weak signal on 160M I would choose my Omni C. However I like to chase DX and work 160M and my Corsair II and Omni VI+ both have it over the Oni C in that department. It just depends what you want to do and what you like. They are all good some are just better. 73 Paul K9OT
