Works very well! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Got this antenna about 3 weeks back, had to change things some to install the antenna, installed it today, am coming up on 76 things don't go fast for me anymore, got the job done the antenna works great, low SWR on 80-75-40m right where I wanted it on those bands, good SWR 0n 20-17-12-10m meats or exceeds what Maxcom said it will do. Its 33' at the apex an 15' on the short end and 12' on the long end would not fit if it were longer. Had a little problem with the balun enclosure, called Maxcom they could not have been nicer an were over the top on getting my isue resolved am a very happy camper! I have used a MFJ 2014 OCF, thought It worked good.
the MAXCOM SMOKES it by a huge margin, its strong, light, an works close to a single banded resonent dipole in A/B testing that I did, an it giving you 7 bands.......73s.........kb6hrt

Great Antenna Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Great antenna for the money. It works just as described and have been very pleased. By far a better buy than some I have tried.

SURPRISE! THIS ONE IS GREAT! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Got this antenna because the price was right even just to try out. So a Ham buddy and I put it up and the FIRST contact was Japan! I was sold and he went home and ordered one right away. Antenna performs perfectly on EVERYTHING but 160. Well built. I was wondering whether it would survive a Wisconsin winter and YES it's like brand new still. I love this antenna PLUS they were so nice on the phone and in email. Even purchased coax from there for the antenna. This one is a keeper. Try it out for the money and you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.

Fantastic Antenna Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Absolutely fantastic antenna! High quality, made in the USA. This antenna performs just as promised, no tuner needed if You follow the instructions included! Don't skip an air choke at the feed point as instructed or your feed line will become part of the antenna and it will not work without a tuner. This is not a cheap junk product! I use mine at 1KW on all bands, average SWR 1.3 or less. I do use my tuner on 10m as the SWR is 1.6 but I could operate without it! You will not be disappointed with this antenna!

High quality OCF dipole built by Luther in Cartersville, GA.

Low SWR, very widebanded.
