Great antenna, no problems at all.  Time owned: more than 12 months
Had this antenna for 4 years now, originally on roof rack of Ford Escort Estate, now on front driver side of Vauxhall Frontera.

If it is mounted correctly with a good ground connection, as the instructions say - the only part of the antenna that needs tuning is the 10m stub, I had to snip about 1/2" off to resonate it when on the Escort.

Works very well on 2m / 70cms, I'm yet to be mobile when there's an opening on 6m, but over the past few years have worked numerous European stations from the Isle of Man on 10m.

I couldn't have asked for a better multi-band antenna.
