excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have had this antenna up for 3 days now and I am getting 5000+ mile contacts with zero radials.
Fantastic craftsmanship and the customer service is top notch.
My FT-950 internal tuner will get it to 1.1:1 on any HF band.
My signal reports have been 59 from all worked stations.

Excellent Antenna and Support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Usually don't do reviews but this antenna is very well made. Put it on a 2" OD water pipe and it is like a tank.Well packaged and only took about an hour to complete from unboxing to testing. I suggest you follow Tom's guideline sheet. I talked to him on 2 seperate occasions and he is great to work with. Have already made numerous contacts and am looking forward to the contest season to put it through its paces.

Well built antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought this antenna to put on my 24X40 pole barn that has a metal roof. It tunes 10-40 with the built-in tuner of my TS-590S with no problem. I've only had it a few months but have been presently surprised with the performance. No I'm not going to claim that it can bust the pile-ups like a KW and a beam but it does very well for me and my 100 Watts, even with my 200ft of coax. Japan on 10M was a nice surprise too :-)

I'm impressed. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought this antenna to use while camping in my motorhome. I instal it in a "Flag Pole" Buddy mounted on the rear ladder. It was a little bulky at first to set it in the Buddy but I got the hang of it. This is a real quality, machine shop quality, product. The rig is an IC-2200 with the LDG AT-200. It is a great combination,too. While in Big Bend National Park, I made over 100 contacts with excellent reports. Tom, N9ZV, could not be more helpful. Highly Recommened.

Excellent Quality and Performance Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The manufacturing quality of this antenna is excellent with high quality aluminum stock used throughout. The antenna comes pre-marked for assembly and is easily put together.

I am not under any HOA restrictions but wanted to maintain a low profile in my neighborhood that has all underground utilities. I applied a light coat of paint in a woodland camo motif, and it blends nicely with its surroundings. I had no intention of using radials, and when I first tried it out, I found that most bands had an SWR of right at 1.5:1 or less. I decided to add two radials, 27 foot (the same length as the vertical) after consulting with Tom at Zerofive. Having done that, my SWRs on 40, 20, and 15m are almost flat using an LDG AT-600PROII tuner. The other bands are 1.5:1 or less, and even 80m tunes at 1.2:1; not bad for a 10-40m antenna. I have made many DX contacts and am very satisfied, especially having used it for only about a week.

Tom, N9ZV, at Zerofive provided great customer support on questions concerning the antenna installation and radials.
