Exceptional Product, Performance and People!			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
JK Antennas provided me with one of the finest vendor experiences I have ever had. The build quality, the packaging, and assistance was truly fantastic. I received an upgraded "long boom (30 Ft.), version, and installed it at about 60 Ft. The performance is incredible...SWR's so close to 1.1:1 on 20m and 1.2:1 or better on 40m. This antenna seems to be a bit expensive...until you realize that the lack of frustration, no missing hardware, and super support completely remove the hassle of putting a complex antenna together after which it DELIVERS! Do yourself a favor, save up a bit more money and purchase a product which will prove to be worth every extra penny!

Outstanding			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had the Falcon up over a year. Assembly was straightforward if you follow the instructions. Performance on the air is outstanding. 40 meters has been my favorite band over the past 55 years and this antenna has increased my pleasure immensely. On 20, the antenna blows through pile-ups. Like all the antennas from JK, the support is great but the quality design and performance is what it's all about. Just added a 10/15 yagi from JK and very pleased with it as well.

Great Antenna			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Overview The JK Falcon is by far the best antenna I have ever installed, but do not just take my word for it. The hams that helped me assemble the antenna have over 100 years collectively in the hobby. They also agreed on the quality. Construction The antenna is well built. All parts fit like a glove. No left over pieces of metal from the machining! Everything aligns perfectly. Boom to mast and element to boom clamps are great for strength, fit, and element alignment. The element to boom clamps really hold the elements solidly. Forty meter coil construction is sturdy with excellent interface to the elements. Assembly The owner should plan on spending some time on the assembly of this antenna. But, it is time well spent. All hardware is stainless and element construction uses a hex key/nut arrangement. This works well, but make sure you have the needed sizes. Review the manual carefully before starting the construction for the element tubing plan. There is a lot of overlapping tubing that adds a great amount of strength, but needs a careful review of the manual to understand. The packaging provides individual segregation of hardware for each major part of the antenna. This segregation really helps with assembly. JK also includes extra hardware that is a wonderful perk, so losing nuts and bolts is no longer a show stopper. Feeding This antenna requires two feed lines and two baluns. I strongly recommend using the baluns available from JK. These units interface to the elements perfectly allowing for a great connection (electrical and mechanical), and are very well built. SWR Forty meters is as advertised. The 20 meter SWR is amazing across the whole band. 40 Meters This antenna has literally opened a whole new world for me on 40 meters. It allows for such a good DX signal into Europe. I work many stations that have never worked the USA! I also see the same with mobile stations. One 10 watt “G” mobile station was so happy he was able to talk to North America. You could just feel his excitement during the QSO. I also enjoy sandbagging with the big guns and hearing things that they cannot. 20 Meters This antenna performs great on twenty. I really can break pile-ups with no problem. Customer Service The support was second to none with a truly caring attitude and a great call to action. Advice Since it is a “Bull Market,” I recommend “a buy” for the JK Falcon no questions asked.

HUGE SIGNAL REPORTS			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The performance of the JK2040 FALCON has surpassed all expectations. This has been a 1-call antenna in pile-ups. Outstanding support from the factory from day 1. The technical design is outstanding. Flat SWR shows how well this antenna is made. I enjoyed building this antenna with friends and we all agreed that it is an outstanding antenna. If you want the option to have 20 meters and 40 meters on the same boom, this is the antenna for you. You wont be disappointed.
