Looking at these, wondering what your opinion of the Tram 1410, and what the difference might be (besides a savings of $75)

I have MFJ 1868 on a pole that extends about 10' above my roof.

I like it..

I am located right across from KMTN. At altitude I can hear from just around Atlantic City, NE to around NYC, West to VA,WVA, MD line, South and SE to around Richmond & Norfolk areas.

Low areas I cannot get KBWI, as the signal skips over the hill formation that occurs between Baltimore City and beltway area. There are good cold or inversion days that allows BWI to come through, but most of the time it is very static scratchy at the best.

My uncle just called me about a power outage because he was hearing about a plane into powerlines. He's not far from KGAI.

Probably just two F-35's were showing.I doubt the RAAF would send tanker all that way just for two tails but
am sure they will announce it in a few days when they arrive

I don’t believe SECDEF is going anywhere this week. SecState is going to Romania tomorrow, and VP returns to Wash from her vacation in LA (expect at least 1 C-32 westbound tomorrow morning to pick her up.) Also have France’s Macon coming to DC and Louisiana Tues-Fri. And British Royals are visiting Boston same time, but the trip isn’t “official” so I expect they’ll take BA regularly scheduled commercial.

Thanks, with the coax and mounting hardware included that's a bit of a lower price than the TRAM 1410.

Actually, I believe it was a pilot and a passenger, not two pilots. The female passenger was extricated first. They were sent to local trauma centers with serious but apparently non-life threatening injuries according to Montgomery County Fire Chief Scott Goldstein.

The pilot was apparently the owner of the aircraft, a civil trial lawyer who has a practice in DC.
