High hopes
Replacing a 25-year old Galaxy little giant that’s finally showing signs of its age. Build quality looks similar, so expecting this one to outlast me.
Only one complaint - the thread on the new version is 180 degrees off from the old one, so the coax port is on the “wrong” side of the antenna when fully seated on the 25-year old Shakespeare ratchet mount. Annoying that consistency doesn’t exist over time, but easily remedied by a spacer washer. Anyone know where I can find one?
