XP504 is worth every penney. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had trepidations ordering this different antenna. All worries were unfounded.
It's built like a tank, easy assembly instructions, and most of all it works.
Really low swr on all bands including warc, 40 and 30.
Working the DX is the final criterion and I couldn't believe the pileup I was able to bust.
No traps, is the way to go.
During assembly I had a question, their email response was almost instantaneous.

Best Multiband Beam used Time Owned: unknown months.
I bought a 707 13 years ago and still use it today, well built and constructed and heavy about 105 lbs. It been through very high winds with no problems. Performs well on 10-12-15-17-20 and works fine on 30 and 40 with low SWR. I would buy another one.

HIGHLY RECOMENDED READ REWIEW BY W1CP LEW McCOY Time Owned: unknown months.
This antenna is a great one. I have owned HP-707- model since1991. From electrical and mechanical design standpoint the antenna performs very well. It has low swr on all bands. My 707 is at 65 high. I worked many DX expedition using only 100 watts. The antenna works like a champ in any pile up. It is not light, but it is well built. It is a great example of German engineering. I highly recomended it!
