right up there with JOGUNN ( JUNK ) what are you looking for remember in antennas there is no free lunch you cant compact a antenna down to 1/6 its normal size and get it to work as well as a full size one.

Mike your running a super scanner? thats Antenna specalist and thats a good antenna ..... stargun is some halfbaked supper loaded thing at mucho $$$$$.
My experance with highly loaded antennas is not good most are leaky dummy loads and dont start to hold up to a full size one.
Right now im running roof mounted a hustler 40-10 vertical it is TWICE the length of the MFJ it replaced....and 2-4 S units better!

bottom line max gain is never obtained in a highly loaded beam, vert or horzontal no matter what the maker clames.

BEST WAY IS co-phases imax using the hy gain HF veritical phaising format.

(In place of the i-max the Astro-plane, top-one or a99 will also work.)

i did this with antron 99's and this works great!

would be even better with imax 2000's or even better yet a pair of super j poles or variant of.
