    It was something I designed for my personal use and was made in small quantities. The guy that made them passed away last year. You can make something similar for less than 50 bucks.

    Do you have a thread on how you built that Antenna? Or where and what you used for the bottom part? Looking for a 24 or 27" Extension for the Antenna's I have now. that would get them above the cab on my T600.
    Bottom section is 7" now. Need to get it about 2ft or more higher. Going to try to find some SS Rod and make my own bottom section.
