Reliable High Gain 2M Base Antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've owned the same G7 since the very early ninties, and it's never failed to perform. Believe it or not, this antenna has survived near hurricane force winds while stationed at Keelser AFB in Biloxi, MS, as well as 6 Alaskan winters where the temp dipped to a figid -40 degrees F. The performance netted from this optimally spaced three 5/8 wave colinear vertical has been nothing short of outstanding. It is highly recommended for any ham station - base or repeater service. Email me if you'd like more info. 73 de Steve, KZ9G (ex: KL7DC)

12 Years and Counting Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I'm surprised there are only two reviews of this antenna. My G-7 has been up for a total of 12 years at two different locations. It's survived ice storms, high winds, and one near-miss by a tornado. Even after all this time it performs very well. I've used several different omnidirectional antennas on two meters over the years, but I've been the happiest with this one. A G-7, fed with low-loss coax, and driven with 50 to 150 watts will give you an excellent simplex station. Repeaters, of course, will be a breeze.

Has been great! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Have had it up for three years and works like a hose! Brand new out of the box the threads on one of the sections were damaged, I deceided to try and put it together anyway, it went together tight and a little crooked but has been a great 2 meter antenna.
