MY BOAT WAS SINKING!!

While boating off of Ft. Lauderdale Florida,  unexpected high seas developed and my boat started taking on water. When I bought my boat, I ordered it with a VHF transceiver and a Shakespearee 21' Antenna. As a spare, just for precautions, I added another VHF radio and I bought your 8'  6 db VHF antenna, and I thank God I did.  With unexpected trouble hitting me, I went to my first radio and keyed down ... nothing but static! In a panic, I turned on the spare connected to your antenna and presto! I was able to contact another boat 25 miles away, clear as a bell. When I got back to port, I checked the radio and the antenna. It turns out that the Shakespearee antenna was bad. I scrapped that piece of junk and  now have your 21' VHF 10 db  antenna. I don't want to take another chance. Thanks!  - J.D.



CELLULAR ANTENNA GETS 50 MILES!

I was tired of paying the roaming charges and the long distance charges in Bimini. So, I decided to buy your 8' cellular antenna. Soon after that, we sailed from Miami to Bimini.  While in Bimini, we tried our cell phone that we connected to your antenna.  No roaming! I dialed "411" to see if I could get the Bimini operator. Instead, I got the AT&T operator. I asked for a Bimini number, and was advised by AT&T that they would connect me to the long distance operator for the Bahamas. I told her I was in the Bahamas! She said that I was calling in the Miami area! My little phone with your antenna connected  45 miles across the ocean!  Great antenna. I'm telling my friends about it. - H.S.
