Does anyone have experience with both these antennas? I'm drawn to the PA0RDT-types due to their low cost, but I'm tempted to just bite the bullet and pay for an MFJ because I can get it from U.S. sellers. (Unless anyone has a U.S. source for a completely-built miniwhip -- so far I've been unable to turn up any such thing in searches.) A compromise, of sorts, would be to buy the miniwhip from overseas, and while I"m waiting for it to arrive, buy cable domestically and get it buried to my intended mounting location before the ground freezes. (An alternative NOT under consideration is the LF Engineering H-800 and successors due to higher price, wimpy RG-174 cable permanently connected, and stupid RCA connectors.)
