Works right out of the box (bag)  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
Unpacked it. Sealed up the wire connectors. Hoisted it up to 30 feet at the center. Added new coax. Tuned up great with no trimming and worked several stations on 10 watts within a half hour.

Looks well made. Very happy.

Followup to original  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
Wish there was a number higher than 5 ...

Still less than 20' above the ground in the attic, still fed with about 25' too much coax, still CW, still 100W or less.

Added a DXEngineering 1:1 balun and Bencher YA-1 filter.

Since November, this bit of wire has worked 48 states confirmed and 33 countries, with 16 confirmed, including New Zealand, Japan and Asian Russia. Look for Oklahoma on a map and see if you're not impressed too.

I've not been able to tune it below 40m or above 20m, but it ain't supposed to work anywhere else.

Other than the exam fee, this is the best money I've spent.
