I see a major issue with the lack of radials especially at higher frequencies.
The OP'ers link is dead.

A Very Well Kept Secret!

Superb, super high quality Wideband antenna. Truly precision made. Outstandinding Japanese craftsmanship. Can be used for so many applications. Serves many roles in my shack. FM Sat operation, local scanner duties, 2M/440 work, ATV uses, model rocket tracking......the list goes on. Would easily be a UHF/VHF workhorse and survive even the most harsh outdoor conditions. Real deal, stainless steel. My antenna has been in continuous service for 4 years..........looks and works like the day it went up. Great, quick field day antenna. Max power TX is 50 watts, that may limit some of it's use. Good to see a N connector, this is where you need it. Feed this antenna with some large hardline coax for eye opening performance. Such a small package. Truly surprised so few reviews. AOR is keeping this antenna too good of a secret!

I recently added The AOR DS3000A to my antenna line up,,And It works Extremely Well for Receiving,,I can't comment on transmitting which I don't do , Only Receiving on a Scanner. It has very wide band width, 75 mhz to 3000 mhz, if you have need to accomadate some of the Wideband Receivers out there. The Stainless Steel Build quality is excellent !!..I own Icom and Diamond which I consider to be great antennas,,The AOR Antennas in my Opinion are even a Step or two up from the others,,I Recommend the AOR Highly !!
