Has anyone heard of this Metz antenna. I understand that it is a good one.

Metz antennas are end-fed half wave stainless steel whips. The coil
is guaranteed for life. I have one mounted on its L bracket under the
hand-hold on my '97 Sea Rayder jetboat to an Icom M-59 VHF at the
helm. The antenna has been beat to death bouncing hard in the waves
at 60 a lot. Works great.

I lost one stainless whip when the mounting tightening nut got loose
and overboard she went. It was replaced, the nut tightened down on
the brass ferrule and we're back in business.

You can order antennas and parts direct from Metz. Put Metz Antennas
into the Google.com search engine.

I'll second Larry's endorsement on Metz being a good antenna. And, like
Larry, I had my whip go into the drink. Got replacement and new vinyl boot
direct from Metz, and made sure to honk down on the tightening nut.
