I'd like the opinions of owners of the new style Big Stick that is 21 foot long. How do you like it? Have you compared it to something else at the same height? Would you buy it again, or would you buy something else?

Come on, I know this is Imax country but it's your chance to stand and be counted.

I hope this is not evidence that it is a sorry product. Someone chime in. Certainly someone owns one. I have gotten one postive e-mail about it.

mikefromms,

Here at our Shop in Central Illinois, the Shakespeare Antennas have just never taken off from Day One.

We tried/put one for a day and didn't like the performance so it came down.

It could have been our location or just a bad antenna.

We quit handling them about three years ago after about a 98% Return/Not Happy rate on them.

We have not tried the New NBS 2010. So we cannot offer a comment on it.

Just our experience with the Big Stick's.

Lon,

Must have been a bad batch. Anyway, glad to hear it was not the new Nbs 2010 Big sticks. I got an e-mail from one gentlemen who stated it was the best antenna he had ever owned.

Man, that's a high return rate. It's mighty nice of you all to take them back. Did you all test the one's that were sent back to check for shorts? Didn't they quit making the Super big sticks?

I can see where some people would be very leary of these antennas. I guess we'll have to wait for the full review of the new big stick.

Thanks.
