Bruce, here is the link. Looks well built and doesn't advertise to be "best antenna on earth", but striving for a darn good product. Somewhat expensive but not out of the ballpark for someone trying to get started in the base antenna market without the backing from the big companies.
I know coilys have been making mobile antennas for years and have quite the following on the west coast.

WOW nice antenna for CB but pricy like a Mosley DI-6 on 6 meters same qualty well thought out.
My DI-6 lasted 30 years and this antenna looks like it could too. |

Your right some antennas are a bit dear .... on 6 meters it's $200 + shiping for a DI-6 from mosley ...
I can buy 2 ringos and STACK them for less money ..... |
