great antenna in all respects Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Purchased this around 12months ago , i had a issue with the jubilee clips at first (which you sorted quickly)
The beam has been remarkable over 12 months use on one evening and following morning one day a week . I have managed over 100 contacts to either VK_ZL-or JA all long path on low power. and 100s of other great dx contacts world wide.
what i like
reasonant on entire 20m band
great front to back
good gain
good build quality
survived some very high winds
compact and light so not to much strain on the rotator
good price
being a mono band beam so no traps
never have a problem breaking pile ups
I have had two other beams on my tower a cushcraft A3S , which had shocking build quality with over 300mm error between the elements and faulty traps.
The other was a pkw tri bander which was better but had issues with the driven element which was double stacked and would twist out of shape in high winds.
very happy with antenna and at a bargin price my log book contents is the envy of my local radio club
