Well pleased Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased the 43ft 10m to 160m Vertical I paid by Paypal from the UK
Tom kept me informed of progress and antenna was made and delivered to the UK in about 2 weeks
The build quality is excellent and the antenna took about 1 hour to assemble and get up on top of a 7m mast I have put a SGC-230 Tuner at the feed point and I have used a Butternut resonant Radial Kit STR-II and cut one 80m radial these slope down at around 45 deg with this I can tune 10m to 160m all bands no problem my first contact was on 40m SSB just before sundown with RA9MN, I then went to 20m psk and called CQ I got a reply from WB9VKZ in Illinois so far so good
I then tried 160m and worked 5 stations around Europe 5/9 both ways well pleased
upto 40m SSB for a listen around I then worked VP9BO 5/9 both ways then TF3GC well that was enough excitment for one night !!!
First call the next morning on 20m psk was answered by VK3KCD who gave me 579 report later that day I went to 17m and worked 5Z4DZ who was 5/9++ at the weekend I went on to 17m ssb and gave a cq call and worked JO1WKO, JA1BWT, JH1OCC, RW0CF, RW9WJ,UA9OGF, JR1GTF, KP4SQ, and UA9FU all from one session and with excellent signal both ways
I have also worked CM6FJJ, CX5BW, YV5JF, VP5VAC, all on 40m ssb and JA8GG, and TU2OJ on 20m this is a small amount of what I worked in the first week with this Antenna and 50 watts output I will do another review after a longer period
in my opinion this antenna has excellent build quality, and puts out a great signal Tom is happy to send to europe but remember you need to sort your own Radial system for this Antenna for service and build Quality I can highly recommend ZeroFive Antenna's
