[FedCom] Fedcom Mobile Monitoring Antenna Results

[Ken]

Well recently, I went from a "stealth" mobile operation to using a magnetic 
mount small (almost stealth) profile VHF high band antenna (Pro Comm 
S-CD144BN, Grove's ANT50 http://www.grove-ent.com/procomm.html ) for the 
milcom/fedcom bands & also added also added a antenna splitter
(http://www.grove-ent.com/SPL2.html) so I could utilize two scanners in the 
vehicle.

I was pleasantly surprised at the results.  Including very good 30-50, 
400-420 mhz, 800 mhz results as well as excellent/outstanding results in the 
108-174 mhz range.   As an example more than 40 miles out from Bradley IAP 
(Windsor Locks CT), I was picking up the TSA digital repeater on 172.90.

Again what I like abou the antenna is that is is only 20 inches high and 
hasn't fallen off at interstate highway speeds.
