    He is, but it doesn't matter; an antenna whip is not enough to trip height sensors, as they have a minimum block time set on them so birds and insects don't constantly set them off.

    nah what I edited out was my epic brain fart... when you said "volvo" at the beginning of your post you were addressing me, not saying you were in a volvo like I thought at first lol.

    I had a 5ft SkipShooter and a 7ft SkipShooter. The 7ft was quite a bit better......"Longer is Better"!

    FWIW, and from what Ray, in W. Memphis, himself told me, back when they did the shoot out contests with the big amps (I forget what they called those meets) he consistently beat out the guys with the 102" with his Skip Shooter. He said they never could figure out what he was doing to beat them. Take off angle was mentioned when he was telling me this, if I recall correctly. The original Skip Shooter made in Southhaven, MS (on the border with Memphis) when I first learned about it. First time I heard of Ray he was at Everybody's Electronics in Southhaven, MS. Probably some connection there some way or the other.
