Very Nice Antenna Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Installed a 13B2 as a replacement of Cushcraft's basic model ( 148-10s). I am amazed how the signals have increased over the other model. The antenna went together quickly and I especially like the feature of using bolts through the boom sections. This was a problem ,in high winds ,on the other model which caused the boom sections to turn in the "ring clamps",causing the elements to get out of line..I have a flat 1.2 swr for the entire bandwidth.Think I will acquire another to use horizontal for SSB/CW.

Nice antenna Time Owned: unknown months.
The antenna works as specified, and is a major improvement over their ar270b "HI HI", I can easily work simplex to 100+ miles without an amplifier on FM....I have it on a 15 fT mast up top
a 6 story building...I would definetly recommend this antenna to anyone that has limited space..
All signals went up 5s units over the vertical..Try it you'll like it.. :}
