The 4BA works FB and you can believe the F12 net gain figures as
realistic. You can compare those figures against various tribander's
performance in our tribander comparison report (available from
www.championradio.com) to give you some reference vis-a-vis other multi-band
antennas.

The 2M antenna isn't the problem. It just happened to be the highest
point on the tower. If you had a lightning rod above the 2M, it would've been
just fine. Apparently you didn't have the tower or antenna feedline
adequately grounded. Next time it'll find another point to discharge to -
either the mast or another antenna - so you've still got a basic problem.
