[TowerTalk] Force 12 going away

[Kelly Taylor]

I don’t think anyone has said Mosleys don’t work, merely there are others that work better.

Anything will radiate, it’s just by degrees how well. The data does favour other antennas and disfavour Mosleys. There are also sound engineering reasons to dislike Mosleys.

That’s not bashing, it’s just reality.

73, kelly, ve4xt 

ps: and no, the data are NOT the work of manufacturers’ marketing departments, and none of the data supports Mosley’s exaggerated gain claims, either.

Not saying that the Moseley 67 fits that category because I've never bothered to look at the measured data on it, but others have and aren't impressed.  And in general I will trust somebody's actual data over somebody else's anecdotal impression.
