Although I've never had one apart, I believe the cap is attached to the
radiating element. Also, I have never seen any fiberglass collinear antenna
survive a direct hit. I have, however, seen folded dipole arrays survive a
lightning strike.

I was told by someone that took an antenna out of the radome that there did
not appear to be any connection to the conductor on the cap. The antenna slid
right out of the bottom of the radome.

I haven't seen any for that band either, but don't know what they utilize
for the various panel antennas that are covered with a radome. TX/RX makes a
vertical that has integral folded dipoles and an aluminum extrusion goes all
the way
Is it just possible that it's for corona discharge :)

Doug,
Not sure how soon you need this antenna, but if you have time to wait - go
to Dayton next year. There has been a guy there the past two years selling
RFS/Cellwave Super Stationmaster antennas. DEFINITELY commercial-grade. I
bought one 2 years ago from the guy (I wish I could remember
a 10 mile
radius.
The other sites will be using DB Products antennas.

Ah, OK Doug. I understand your project better now. I'm sure you'll find
something that'll fit your needs. and you can keep the Super Stationmaster
in mind for the new tower later. ;-)
