And more I forgot!?
Chelcom was built forever,only made 2,it's still on the tower 14 odd years later,shame I don't live there anymore!!
Moxons are great in my humble,most issues with antennas is that they aren't high enough to work as they should.

My brother used to have a Chelcom Delta DX, for a legal antenna it worked pretty well.

Best aerial I ever had was a free one that I nicked out of some geezers back garden years ago. He'd got in on a pole mounted in concrete. Sirio 2012 or something like that it was

On a more serious note, homebase-wise I've only had a few aerials:

Invader (crappy 1981 legal thing), lasted 3 months before I upgraded to....

MK1 Thunderpole (sooooo much better)

Orbitor (silver rod-type with circular ground plane at the bottom, not the square one.

Sirio 2012 (my own lol)

Ham International Thunderbird (wish I'd kept it)

1/2 and 5/8th wave Silver Rods

Antron/A99

I did buy an Imax 2000 but never put it up.


Mobile-wise I think I've used pretty much everything popular that was made before about 1990 as I was mobile for 10 years and was always trying something new. The twin-coiled 6ft Modulator was my fave for getting out well, but it took my magnet off a couple of times before I got a boot mount on my Mk1 Escort.
