    Well the quick disconnect is a good idea on paper. However the antenna wobbles on it, so that's a no-go.

    O-PLEASE ....

    Its because ladder line is a lower loss and has a higher velocity factor then coax, like .99 compared to .66 for cheap coax and a loss rate which is measured in loss per 1000 feet compared to loss per 100 feet for coax....

    UNLESS youhave a ballance feed coax is the only way to go ......

    Yeah and most of the time the statements made about it have nothing to do with the real world!

    You haven't been looking at the right "Quick-Disconnects" then...Yep, those Hustler quick-disconnects are junk....

    Check out "Hank Breedloves Machine Shop"...Jerry builds the best antenna mounts on the market. And his Quick Disconnects can handle any antenna made without wobbling...
