What a bargain! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased this about a month ago. I did have an issue at first. It is easy for water to get into the gamma match if you mount it horizontally. I had to spend a weekend removing the water out of the gamma match tubing and the metal sleeve. Using thick thread to absorb the water works best. However, if you use silicon (as owner Tim Chapman advised me to do) on the possible water entrance points, it will become waterproof. That has been the case since I've had a couple of dandy gully washers since, and the antenna is operating just fine. 1.2 to 1 or lower over the entire 6 meter band. I am having a blast working SSB on 50.125. From VE9's to W5's in TX to W4's in FL and across the east coast and Great Plains... this has been a lot of fun. All at just 100 watts and this antenna.
