Buyer beware Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Horrible antenna. Will not load on 40 meters. The instructions say I may need to shorten the antenna, but actually the antenna is to short to begin with. Waste of money. I lost my G5RV from hurricane Milton and replaced it with this junk. Should have purchased another G5RV instead.

Really Impressed Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
To be honest I am really impressed with this short antenna. Limited with space this fitted the garden and the bill perfectly I have used it on all bands 40 thru 6m meter and have good contacts on all bands - It maybe a compromise antenna but it really works a treat - Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

So far garbage and bad service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought the Radiowavz DX40SH antenna in Gigaparts, I can only adjust it to 40 meters, in 20, 10 it was impossible, it gave me very bad results, I decided to take it out already, but before I measured it, according to catalog it measures 37 feet but it only measured 34 feet , 3 whole feet are missing; What has been the famous quality control of American products ?; I contacted Gigaparts for support, they answered that I should contact Radiowavz and they gave me a support link, that link does not work, the only way to communicate is to a sales email or by phone, of course I will not call, it is more cheap to drop the wire to call from Chile, I have sent two emails to sales requesting to be forwarded to support, I have not had an answer; I'm only interested in knowing the real length of each arm of the antenna to add whatever is necessary, if it works, or it definitely goes to waste.
It also resonates in 6 meters ... it's not supposed to be that way.
Measurements made with RigExpert AA-55 Zoom, an extraordinary instrument.
