I was so glad to find this list because I had just bought an FT-817
and wanted opinions on the MP-1 and ATX but I soon realized "location'
made a big difference and since I am in a valley half way up the side
of the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico...and no one else seems to live
in a similar place, I decided to get both antennas and try them out
for my own circumstances. Thank you all for your opinions, experiments
and successes. I shall be re-reading the posts when the antennas come
in! Jo K5HOY (near the village of Placitas)
