Great Antenna			Time owned: more than 12 months
I have been using the Cobra Ultralite Senior for about five years. I operate all bands 160 - 10 meters. I use the MFJ 993B Intellituner with a Balun Designs 4115 4:1 balun with about 100 feet of 450 ohm window line which comes directly to the balun which is connected to the radio with three feet of RG213 coax. I normally operate between 50 watts and 100 watts output. I get a 1:1 match on 1.838.000 megaherz. I get similar matches, none above 1.4:1, on all bands. The center insulator is pulled thirty feet up into a pine tree. The ends are pulled about ten feet higher into other pine trees, thus forming a slight vee. The antenna survived 120 mph winds of Katrina only to have an end insulator ripped off by a sixty foot pine falling across that leg of the antenna. The wire and the center insulator held fine. You won't find a better wire antenna.
Product is in production.
