Good antenna, poor manual Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered this from DX Engineering. Arrived shortly. The antenna is ok, the manual should never, ever, have been included. It is translated from non English language, into English by a translator who has never spoken, or read, English. "If he wants to climb the elements cough..." is just one example. Three hams could not decipher it. Finally my wife figured it out. The drawings also are horrible. I wrote to DX Engineering, they tried to get me a better manual. So far, nothing. No response either from the company.
Got it up, resonant. I have no idea why, it gave no element lengths or adjustment instructions.
DX engineering should not sell this product with such a poor manual.
I was going to send it back, but I would have had to pay return postage, for a poorly designed product. I would advise you to look at the MFJ product, before this one.

Poorly Engineered, Poorly Documented Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This antenna is basically the equivalent of a 2 element 6m beam but in a smaller footprint. It required significant modifications to get it built and installed:

1) Instructions are written in Spanish with virtually incomprehensible translation to English.

2) Supported via delayed email by the designer who insisted that my installer was not installing it properly. Followed his recommendation to reverse the holes. Still same problem. He actually admitted that other customers had complained about the same problem. This was not rocket science... The thing is not drilled out properly.

2) Poorly engineered. Holes requiring rivet nuts to bond aluminum tubing together are not drilled out properly to accommodate the nuts. Because the nuts don't sit flat as intended, the plastic element saddles don't fit (slide) over the element as prescribed without drilling them out somewhat. Also ended up slitting the tubing ends and fastening with hose clamps.

3) Once significantly modified and installed, seems to exhibit excellent bandwidth; flat SWR across the lower 1.5 Mhz of 6 meters.
