It's this one. I was hoping their "Québec warehouse" was in Montréal and I could just go get it, but alas, Sherbrooke is an Autoroute Too Far. But they ship direct, so it doesn't go to BC first.
#Discone antennas are great - they work equally poorly on all bands. Not really - they work fine, they just have no gain. This one has a few cone elements that can be adjusted. None of the others I've had over the decades have had that.
icecream is very deliberate about placing her feet on the ground (we spent a lot of time walking around our apartment in real life trying to make this happen).

in "pondlife: discone (a videogame)", you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up.

Clear "radio" Long Island day - beacons of planes being received from the discone setup inside the attic through an SDR fed to Kismet Wireless:
Back in 2022 I flew to AZ and took my IC7300 with me. I signed in at the Titan Missile Museum south of Tucson and got permission to use the discone at the facility. The antenna is 80 feet tall and has great SWRs on all frequencies. The tuner within the 7300 didn't need to work hard at all. #amatureradio #hamradio #discone #ic7300

A really cool write up about wide-band #discone antennas.
Today we installed Diamond D3000N discone antenna. The pole is four meters long so the antenna is about three meters above mine and neighbors roof. And it's more straight than what this photo shows :)
I'm going to use this antenna mostly for SDR RX.
I still need to run the coax cables from outside wall to inside my shack. I have a waterproof metal box to be installed on outside wall for getting clean coax installation and to hide lightning arresters and grounding.
