    Why tilt them?

    I saw a serio bent over at 30degrees, so I asked the driver why, he said so it will stand up straight in the freeway, so I said what? You drive at 125 mph because that's a pretty stiff antenna.

    I think I have a steel whip somewhere......maybe two. Hmmmmmmm and that Francis CB-50.....I'm thinking Tri-Phase, no tilt! No wait, I could lean one to the rear and one to the front and leave one straight up!
