Excellent Antenna

Time owned: more than 12 months

Ive had this antenna up for over 3 years now and its been flawless. SWR has remained nearly flat on the phone portion where I have it setup. Im turning it with a alfaspid rotor on a crankup tower. Im happy with the antennas front to back and also front to side ratio as well. There is a construction spacing modification to max out performance with this antenna but I have not tried it. I havent had any hardware issues and Im on a hill with no cover at 1400ft. Great product, highly recommended antenna.

GREAT Antenna for the bucks!!
|
Time owned: unknown months

This is the second 205CA that I have had the pleasure of owning and I must say that both have been fantastic antennas! Straight forward assembly with no surprises. Me and a friend put it all together in about 3 hours. Didn't get it mounted on the tower that weekend, since it was CQWW Contest Weekend, so mounted it on sawhorses and worked over 100 contacts. At 91ft it performs wonderful and the SWR curves look exactly like the book.
One added feature that I love is the fact that, using my antenna tuner, I can load it up FB on 10-15-17 meters and even get some gain out of it!
The HyGain folks in Lincoln have always been extremely helpful, which is the main reason I have owned many of their products. Hope MFJ keeps up their fine tradition.
