    No, I haven't. But I have worked on over 175 ham installations and have 
talked to probably hundreds of antenna owners about their experiences. I have 
also read virtually all of the posts on TowerTalk since I started it 6 or so 
years ago so I consider myself reasonably well informed.

    Please share the data of your comparisons so that we'll all know. Tnx.
