I don't think he was really apologizing. The guy in the video clearly
states they have a matching device that allows them the run 4 different
amps to the 4 different antennas......... Most of us would have just
split the power 4 ways and been legal. We have no clue what size amps
they are using so there is no proof that what they did was wrong. If it
looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.............
