Couldn't have said it better myself; thanks Kevin! One thing I'll add is that sometimes repeater antennas aren't mounted on top of tall towers. I have one that's mounted to a handrail on a building. If the antenna does suffer damage, it's rather easy to inspect & replace if necessary. Even I can do that one & I won't climb onto the roof of my house. I agree that ruggedness & reliability are a bit more important when considering antennas for 1000+ ft. tower installations. Bob NO6B Yahoo!
