[TowerTalk] Vertical for Tower Top

[Doug Rehman]

Lightning recently destroyed the Comet GP-15 (6m/2m/70cm) at the top of my
tower's mast. I'm looking for a replacement that is more mechanically stout,
one that might stand a chance at surviving the next lightning strike.

It is not possible to side mount the antenna on the mast so that the mast is
the highest point.

The only thing I've come across that looks like it might work is a multiband
j-pole antenna- something like:

Any better suggestions?

Tnx,
