Morad 156HD's are actually an Endfeed 5/8 Wave with a matching element
built inside the aluminum 1/4 Wave ground sleeve. Mechanically, very
rugged, and electrically extreamly rugged. They are the most common
VHF Antenna used in the North Pacific, and Bearing Sea.

Thanks for mentioning the Morad antenna. I had never heard of it
before. It looks like an excellent antenna. Apparently it is
seldom sold in the recreational boat market.

It is found on non-commercial vessels more, on the Left Coast, and
in Alaska. They also make a really nice little Sailboat Antenna,
but the model number escapes me at the moment. Senior Moment...
Maybe Old Chief Lynn, or one of the other west coasty guys can chime
in...
