It Works!			Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I purchased the 40m Tak around Christmas 2007. Putting it together isn't to bad after you get the hang of winding the coils (I had to start the first one over once) and had it together within a couple of hours. I used an antenna tuner to adjust for the lowest SWR on the CW portion of the band and was able to achieve about 1.7. I have had a lot of fun with this antenna and instead of it being just a backup antenna it has become part of my regular arsenal. I have the Tak mounted on a 33 foot telescoping mast and oriented with the cold side pointed west. My rig is a TS-480SAT and most contacts are made using 100 watts. Over 250 contacts have been logged with the Tak since the first of the year with many being DX stations including VP6DX on 40m CW and SSB. It is defiantly worth the money. Plans are to have one or two for portable operation. Thanks Steve for a great little antenna, Dwayne N4MIO
