Not the best Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I had one of these antenna's It was ok, It did work well on 80m. On the other bands it was ok, But needed Radial to even hope to work. I put radials on all bands and the antenna was A good performer, but the construction was not the best. It was week, and flimsey. The fiberglass was not the best or the strongest. It sagged. I needed to use guy wires to keep it straight. It did seem to sway a lot in the wind, However it did stay up. Unless it is ground mounted with at least 2 radial per band it will not work. There are better antenna's out there for the money. Performance was exceptable, but the contruction could have been better. better performer than the R4, and R7000
