    That is true but they do stand up at speed and if things get too tall I lose them.

    They're even with the stacks. The reason being so that they don't bang against anything. I do occasionally have to drive under low areas to get loaded.

    I'm picking up more traffic and it's clearer. So either something improved or drivers just decided to be more chatty recently.

    The reason for the angle. Yes it loses some effect but otherwise I lose them. Happened to me before just thank God it wasn't expensive antennas like these ones.

    Why do all your pictures look like they’re taken with a potato?

    Because I'm cheap and don't want to spend $800+ on a new phone when this one still works. Dispatch complains about my photo quality too. Mostly at night. I guess the documents don't look perfect when all I have is a little dome light in the cab. So they have to wait until daylight to get all the paperwork.

    That’s what I’ve heard….. BUT the tilt on mine and I mean a very Slight tilt to make up for when I’m flowing thru the wind that the antenna would stay “ERECT” vertical like it should be. Not a crazy tilt like the OP. And I’m running a Wilson 2k I’ve had for the last 33 years plus.

    Have you tried loading 200m at Covia Cleburne? I already broke off one antenna driving onto that scale under all that stuff

    Springs on the bottom mount can do wonders. Not always but they do help. Me personally, like I’m saying….. “ME”…… It’s not my thing to have that look…. Again…… it’s me. If I was in to your situation, I would fine another option instead of that funky look, but if it works for ya.. more power to ya……
