Re: Which antenna would you choose and why?
neither if they are made by sandpiper..!! probably fall apart if bird farted on it..!!
almost as bad as moonraker stuff..
get a real cobwebb thats what both these are based on, or just make your own, instructions on the web and pretty easy to make.

Everytime I see the cobwebb style antennas, I think of a whirligig (rotary) washing line.

Sorry for the poor quality pic, only a phone camera handy.
This is enough for like a months worth of washing, performs pretty well too, 5 new countries since putting it up last week.
cheers

Re: Which antenna would you choose and why?
I've not had any trouble with my MV6, its well made and its stood up to 18 months of really crappy winters/summers. I've also got one of their telescopic portable dipoles, not much to it but its well built and ive had no problems. What problems have you had and with what products out of interest.bigpimp347 wrote:neither if they are made by sandpiper..!! probably fall apart if bird farted on it..!!
