[TowerTalk] Yaesu ATAS-120 and ATAS-100 mobile antennas

[RICHARD BOYD]

I'm wondering if someone can tell me the difference between the Yaesu 
ATAS-120 and the Yaesu ATAS-100 HF mobile antennas.  I have the 100 and have 
seen there's a newer version, the 120, out.

My interest is in putting one on a short tower or sidemounted as a little 
backup, for portable, and of course mobile, which is what I usually use it 
for.  It could serve as a quickie "noise antenna" for noise canceling 
purposes, though, for a home station.

For portable, at a seaside location, it should be 6db superior to horizontal 
antennas, being a vertical -- great for an oceanfront balcony, on top of the 
beach umbrella, etc.
