  I vote  for the D130J as well….  I know they  do work well in the attic..  I’ve had mine outside as well with no issues..  cant hurt to see what other experiences  people may have had

Hi Don,

 

The MFJ discone tends to fall apart in a wind from what I have read. They work well in an attic.

Don;

What do you find is the problem with a MFJ discone, I have been looking at them in their catalog and was thinking of purchasing one?

Check out a discone. I suggest the Diamond D-130J or NJ depending on the connector. Avoid the MFJ brand if mounted outside.
