This DDRR antenna is also new to me but space-wise it is even smaller than the squalo so definitely worth considering, especially because I wouldn't want to try the squalo if the majority says it won't perform as expected. Would you use just one of them even though it's on the side of the

A Gas Tube Arrestor is better suited to telephone lines and RF coaxial cables than to 120 VAC AC power lines. If used on AC power lines, when fired, they will produce a bolted short and cause a great deal of current to flow. This is not a good thing! Some computer accessory suppliers vigorously
