Sorry, but I feel if you are doing business and selling product, you need to be up frontwith you customers. Gulf Alpha has had production and supply issues for a long time now. At one time, he said he was going out of business and now he is back. I would be very concerned about a company/person who does business this way.
If you don't ask, you will never know!!

It did take 3 months to get the antenna, but 'good things come to those who wait'. I have no complaints about the products from Gulf Alpha.

I would be wary of Gulf Alpha, after what I've been thru for almost 3 months of waiting, stalls, excuses and just outright fibs. I came to within 3 blocks of his house while on vacation last month, and almost turned in, but wouldnt have done any good anyway, since he never built them even though he told me that morning on the phone, they were built, boxed, and being shipped in 6 days, July 1st.. July 2nd I sent him an email requesting the Tracking number; reply email from him,he cancelled my order himself, but did at least refund my monies.
My 2 cents worth..........M-square is just down the road apiece.....shouldnt went there in the first place.....

Take a look at Gulf Alpha Antennas, he makes a dual band crossed 8 elements on UHF and 6 on VHF. So... _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Hello to All,
I just want to give my opinion regarding Gulf Alfa Antennas. I have had very good service with them. I purchased a dual band satellite antenna for my self and was very impressed by the mechanical construction of the antenna. I use it for field day and other portable events.
I also used grant monies and purchased the 2m and 70cm antennas that I installed at the Challenger Learning Center in Kenai, Alaska along with a station to make ARISS contacts with the ISS.
The service has been great, when I gave my timeline and my needs to meet the deadlines.
These antennas are very well constructed and I would recommend them.
I do know from personal experience that issues can be worked out.
