Watson Or Diamond?
Hi guys.....still looking for a second hand 2/70 vertical antenna, however none appearing on the horizon as yet.
If i were to buy new which of these two would you recommend, any experience with either would be useful. Diamond X-30 or the Watson W-30......cheers as always guys.

Re: Watson Or Diamond?
its just a name. they all copy eachother, theres a bloke on ebay selling a colinear for 6,2 and 70cm for a good price. but if its a "designer" name youre after, then its got to be diamond. no better than any other antenna, but really expensive. great street cred
