Right on the money Gregg,! QST will not even list Dbi. There is now a move to rate all in DBD. If you look at the ringo's they are less the unity. Gee less then -0- Most folks (Hams) in the SNJ area say they make great stakes for your tomatoes. <smile> Neat stuff. A good omni by RFS, DB, A/S and so on would be much better. 73 Russ, W3CH
