[TowerTalk] Mosley Antenna Question

[Mike Ryan]

Dave, It is just a slow month I guess...which leaves lots of time for folks 
to bloviate. The ORIGINAL question that I posed was whether there was any 
justification or just what, to the comments in some Mosley antenna assembly 
manuals for their RECOMMENDATION that either RG-213 or RG-8 cables be used 
to feed their antennas. The (to date) 31 responses have 'sort of' answered 
the question but some also have included opinions about what coffee to drink 
while putting on the connector to the coax of choice, as well as other side 
bars not particularly to the question.  It's great isn't it?
         The antenna was installed yesterday with DX Engineering 400MAX 
cable up the tower, to an RG-213 pigtail/rotor loop and choke. The antenna 
appears to work well at least for such a short boom antenna ( aside from the 
back that my mother-in-law has more front to back...as she has a big back ). 
So, carry on coffee drinkers and thanks to those who responded.  '73, Mike

Doug,

I can agree that perhaps the story isn't funny to some folks.  Its funny to
me because the same thread repeats every few years. The anti-Mosley folks
come to the surface with their stories, the un-biased attempt to be fair,
the db counters have their views to air.  Its all a waste of Internet
bandwidth at the end of the day because Mosley antennas do work as antennas
despite what the Mosley haters say! On a given day performance can vary...
there are many variables beyond the antenna itself. Many variables that none
of the stories account for and that makes the thread funny or amusing to
those that understand for all the hoopla radio remains an art for each
operator to explore and enjoy, just like cars, airplanes, boats, RVs,
drones, etc.

enjoy,
dave
