What's the point of the Diamond F22A antenna when you can buy the CP22E ?

I have two Diamond F22A antennas. Both are fiberglass tubes with a lame, thin, split rod in them as the driven element. It is then united using set screws and slid back inside as the halves of fiberglass are screwed together.

Now, the F22A at $100 is supposed to give better wind resistance at 112 MPH than the Diamond CP22E at 70 MPH.

After dozens of pulsating HAARP generated and PAVE PAWS augmented windstorms here on Cape Cod, the F22A has done a veritable Humpty Dance in the middle where the sections join as the CP22E has stood still ! It's still working fine with no damage but it isn't fun to watch if the government and Merck maimed you and you can't get at your antennas.

Fed with new LMR-400 coax, the CP22E which is 15 feet away and 10 feet lower is doing the same job signal-wise as the F22A.

Wrap the CP22E screws and use Trinity College's own Loctite on the all aluminum CP22E and they won't back out.

Similarly, if you want a one piece 2 / 440 antenna consider the X-50. I have an X-50NA here at the same height as the CP22E and see just slightly weaker signals on the same repeaters.

O puer, qui omnia nomini debes

This blog is written in the unvarnished truth by an Ottaviano (Octavianus), and not the politically correct nonsense of a Globalist publishing house with a post-WWII agenda of anti-Roman, anti-Italian, and anti-Goyim lies. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors in History from Trinity College and needed only a second thesis or exam to get the B.A. in Political Science or International Relations. I was oddly told that they were "redundant" even though many now get both. I then refused to become a sock puppet like others are, and was maimed on purpose by a bunch of Globalist government paranoids acting through Merck. Their Germanic and Jewish ancestors rioted against my family in Rome with this purpose, assassinated lawful Emperors and defiled the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome. Stop believing what you were conditioned to think out of post WWII guilt. Nero didn't burn Rome; the fiddle they now say he played wasn't invented until the 16th century, and Nero was assassinated by their ancestors ending our rule. An unlawful coup took hold in 476 and continues unchallenged. Oh, and I'm a ham radio operator, but most of them are incompetent un-opinionated fake emergency responder mush mouths since they dropped the IQ test.

Nicolo Machiavelli

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you."

John Locke

"but where no such appeal is, as in the state of nature, for want of positive laws, and judges with authority to appeal to, the state of war once begun, continues, with a right to the innocent party to destroy the other whenever he can, until the aggressor offers peace, and desires reconciliation on such terms as may repair any wrongs he has already done, and secure the innocent for the future; nay, where an appeal to the law, and constituted judges, lies open, but the remedy is denied by a manifest perverting of justice, and a barefaced wresting of the laws to protect or indemnify the violence or injuries of some men, or party of men, there it is hard to imagine any thing but a state of war: for wherever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer justice, it is still violence and injury, however coloured with the name, pretences, or forms of law, the end whereof being to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, war is made upon the sufferers, who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven."

The "innovative" electric car

MR. MAXIM," asked New Haven Carriage-Maker William Hooker Atwood in 1896, "do you want this carriage to look like a Western buggy-maker's job or do you want it to be a gentleman's carriage?" Answered Hiram Percy Maxim, builder of the Mark I Electric Phaeton: "Like a gentleman's carriage, Mr. Atwood." For almost half a century, the U.S. automobile was indeed a "gentleman's carriage," built for men and bought on the basis of its mechanical excellence, not its sculptured lines or pleasing colors.
