Perfect low band dxing antenna Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Perfect antenna for low bands dxing. I have the 160/80m version without 40m coil and without switches. 76 buried radials. The SWR is flat 1:1 for 80m CW and min 1.8 for 160m CW about 25 KHz BW. Very easy to adjust the coils without ladder for 160/80.

Very easy to install, best performance Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This antenna is very easy to install is 22m high, but is mix alluminium and fiberglass very good idea.
Best performance in 80/160m. Switch for cw/digital/ssb for 80and 160m. New kit for 40m

Great antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
At the end of 2020, after a night snowfall, in the morning I found my 80/160 vertical collapsed due to the weight that had accumulated on the tie rods. Researching possible solutions and relying on the experience of an om who does not live far from me and therefore has to face the same climatic conditions as mine, my choice was for the Super Vertical 80/160 AGU from the Vertical Harray. I was particularly struck by the solution of combining a 10-meter aluminum part with a 12-meter fiberglass terminal. The choice turned out to be very happy. To a very professional construction, we add the practicality of disassembling the fiberglass part in a short time, thanks to the lower support that allows the rapid rotation of 90 degrees, leaving only the solid aluminum part mounted. This has certainly avoided me on at least two occasions, the risk of seeing it destroyed by the force of the wind which, in my qth reaches 90/100 km now during the summer storms. But what I was able to appreciate in addition is the great convenience of optimizing the ros through the use of two relays that allow you to vary the resonance on two segments of the band, finding the best for the cw and voice frequencies. My installation includes an important number of radials which overall reach 960 meters. In conclusion: a very well built, solid antenna with extreme transmission efficiency and, if you are lucky like me, I live in an area without electrical noise from nearby settlements, also with an appreciable reception efficiency.

Great antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
High quality components, well-engineering all the parts fit together nicely, and easy-to-follow instructions. A few minor concerns with the instructions, but nothing serious. The antenna is 20 kg. weighs, and a huge 22 mt.high. more that full legal power, low swr and rugged construction, coils are alluminium tubing and all contact among the various parts are made of stainless steel and well made.
A relay provides the possibility of using the antenna on two different frequencies on the same band, the capacitors used in the LC circuits are large in size with considerable power handling, bottom line so far. This is a substantial and high quality antenna, well-designed, well-engineered, and relatively easy to assemble and install. No missing parts, nothing that does not fit properly. Five-star quality.
Advice this antenna to anyone looking for an excellent vertical for lower bands.
Great support from the team manufacturer.
