[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Re: antenna choices

If you purchase quality aluminum tubing and all of the hardware from
places like McMaster-Carr, DX Engineering, etc you will quickly realize
why antennas cost what they do. Add in the hours that you spend designing,
cutting and machining the parts and financially you are better off
purchasing a beam. I homebrew because I enjoy the satisfaction of building
it myself and I feel that I make a better quality product than
commercially available.

It seems like very few antennas are affordable to the average ham.

It seems like they need some competition. With prices in the multiple
thousands
of dollars for a few aluminum tubes somebody could make lot of money by being
less expensive...

I would call them GOTHAM BEAMS as a nod to history!!
