First off, Shakespeare makes some pretty good antenna's, but they make
everything from cheap to real good. Now if your inclined to buy cheap,
than you deserve what you get. Myself, I would never buy a cheap
antenna, because you want that radio to work when you really need it
most, like when your up to your knees in water in your cabin. An
antenna is a silly place to even joke about skimping. That doesn't mean
that you should pay a crazy price. If you stay inland, you don't need
the top of the line, if you run the canyons frequently, the top of the
line might be the way to go.
