For Very DXer in Low bands Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have owned this antenna for over 1 year and then resold it for a change of home. The current owner is also very satisfied.
Solid aluminium construction with excellent coils, also easy to calibrate.
The bandwidth was 300 khz in 80m using the switching relay and 30 khz in 160m.
I've done good DXs in both 80 and 160m.
I also added the 60m band kit and it works perfectly.
The ground floor was 40 radials of various lengths untuned
Highly recommended for Low Band Dxer

Great antenna for low bands Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I've invL for 160 mt and 80 mt ( 12 mt high and 8 mt horizontal wire ) with no switch box and tuned on CW portion of the bands.

Great material, easy to assembly and easy to tune. It works very well and it has prefectly survived to winter under sever winds storms too ( I've one order of "contro venti" ).

It easily allow me to break several pileups and I can reach JA or Korea on 160mt too.

I would buy it again, and price is very reasonable for the material and quality. I would say also that owner ( Claudio ) is very helpfull with suggestions and support.

Top rated.

Top Band at your fingertips. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I worked high bands for many years and I had a lot of satisfaction reaching the DXCC Honor Roll. To improve my score in the Challenge program I had to start getting interested in the Top Band and bought this antenna and I was thrilled. It is a vertical antenna with a tip wire for inverted L configuration.
I arrived at home in an excellent and sturdy package and when I started to assemble it I realized how robust its realization was.
Tuning it was very easy thanks to a sliding collar. The thing that surprised me was the low noise level. In the following I used it with a loop for receiving Vertical Array that is truly exceptional.
I recommend it to everyone. Money well spent and DX in Top Band at your fingertips.
