Best limited space antenna I ever used for the magic band
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
This is the best limited space antenna I ever tried for the magic band. Best DX so far is PY2XB not bad for QRP as I always use 5W or less. Only drawback is that the "manual" is in japaneese but the installation is a breeze anyway as the pictures are great and easy to follow

Good antenna for small environments

Time owned: more than 12 months

I had this antenna for a couple of years, together with a MFJ-9406 (8W) and worked loads of DX with it: W/VE/PY and heard VK. If you have limited space like I do, go for it.

Still a great antenna. I have been using it for 6 months. It has suffered through several thunderstorms without damage. The performance is very good. Even with the lousy E season we had this year I was able to work 15 states and 30 grids. I have been using it this fall for meteor scatter work and have had contacts of over 1000 miles with it (FSK441 helps alot too).

Excellent

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

This is a great antenna. It takes up very little space, boom is only a little over 2 feet long, just a tad more than a dipole.
It is based on the dual driven element designs of HB9CV, Rai-beam makes a similiar antenna. You get 6.3dBi which is very respectable.
The only draw back is the assembly instruction which are only available in Japanese. NCG, the north american comet distributor, does not carry them in english.
