Had one Worked Great untill we had a few 45 mile an hour wind Gust. Broken in several places :(
I took the antenna off the tower and all the guts were intact ! That was ok But tried to return to vendor for a replacement man that was a joke .
I guess I'll use pvc pipe and try to patch it up.

It Works

I bought this antenna about a month ago. It is real straight forward as far as assembly goes. The antenna also seemed real solid. I didn't have a problem like the first review. The antenna is standing straight. The antenna was pretuned and had a standing wave well under a 1.5:1 on both 2M and 70cm. I'm glad I saved about $100 over other brand name antennas. I can't complain about the performance either. I was kind of weary about the Workman brand from the start. I've bought some real junk V/UHF meters by this company in the past. Overall the antenna was much better quailiy than I expected. I'll keep it.

This is an "OK" antenna. It performs fairly well but other brands will work circles around it. I simply can not stand the way the mounting sleeve connects to the base of the antenna. I can't get it mounted straight for the life of me. it leans to on derection slightly all the time. Also... The mounting hardware started rusting after only a few months. If you don't want to part with much money and are willing to settle for an antenna that is "good enough"... This is the one for you.
As for me... I think I will pay the money and order a GP-15
