Neither. Just making a snide comment.But you're right. It depends on who/what you're getting. Problem is that you never really know unless you've dealt with whomever.

Do you know this, or are you speculating? My information was that Connect-It fabricated all their stuff in Florida including the galvanizing. That’s one reason I liked buying from them. That and their workmanship (welding and galvanizing) seemed better than Andrew/Commscope. Sitepro1/Valmont does import parts from China, which they do not hide, it is stamped right into them. I am sad to report however that the quality seems quite good. Remember that virtually all brand name tools are made in China, not just Harbor Freight. They can make junk and they can make good stuff.*From:* Bill Prince <mailto:part15...@gmail.com> *Sent:* Thursday, March 10, 2016 8:27 PM *To:* af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff Chinese steel.

I have used Andrew S200 like George says (2 ft standoff) or S300 (3 ft), actually they go up to 6 ft standoff. Or Connect-It Wireless S2-S6. Can be used on vertical or sloping tower legs. Sitepro1 also has several solutions, some of which are YUGE! *From:* Jason McKemie <mailto:j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> *Sent:* Thursday, March 10, 2016 2:02 PM *To:* af@afmug.com *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff I had looked at those, I just didn't know if it had enough standoff for use with an omni - from a shadowing perspective.

It will be mounted to the side of a Pirod tower, so I'm going to need some sort of standoff to minimize shadowing. -Jason
