It works!			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have had the PKW loaded 30M dipole up for about 3 weeks. SWR is very good and it's allowing me to work DX that is in the noise on a vertical. The tubes are connected together with stainless steel clamps but seem very sturdy. The only real problem I had was that I didnt check the maximum mast size before purchasing. It's actually 50mm/2" and my stub mast is 58mm/2.25" so I had to use my own clamp, but no big deal. I have this dipole mounted quite close to the boom of a 5 ele 10M yagi and it lowered the resonant frequency slightly, so I had to cut 50mm from the element tips as the element tubes were already retracted as far as possible. I am impressed with the construction of the loading coils so will now be looking at their 40M dipole.
