A digital spec aerial is a great deal more than just a "wideband". In fact
an aerial can have been passed as conforming without being wideband. The
differences are manyfold, not the least of which is the prescence of a
balun.


ahaha.

I'll get my tinfoil hat on then..

Remind me never to have uou install an aerial..
