[TowerTalk] ANTENNA ANALYZER?

[Blake Bowers]

I have two MFJ's.

Been in multiple hands since I bought them,
abused, beat, and hung up wet.

We often buy towers that have lots of dead antennas,
and the MFJ is super for figuring that out..


Don't take your organs to heaven,
heaven knows we need them down here!
