Excellent Dipole			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I needed a shortened 40-10 meter dipole for a city lot. I gave this one a try. It arrived sooner than I expected and it came fully assembled. All I needed to do was hang it. That was easy as I had three good sized trees in my backyard just where I needed them to be. The results on all bands, especially 40 and 20 was excellent. With my xcvr tuner, I was also able to match the WARC bands. If I had the room now in my Baltimore row-house backyard, I would use it again. It's a great antenna and the company owner was very helpful in answering questions I had in selecting the right antenna for my needs.

Great as a 20 and 40 meter dipole, but misses on 15m			Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This is a very easy way to get a multu-band antenna up in the air. I have mine setup as a sloper with the top and 55 feet and slopiong to 10 feet at the bottom. I just put it up to play with for a little while. It works great on 20m ( about 1/12 S-units better than my 20 meter dipole). It works pretty well on 40 meters and I found it's about 1/2 S-unit lower than my full size 40 meter dipole. On 10 it works ok about a 1.2.1 SWR but doesn't scream, and on 15 I couldn't get it below a 3.1.1 SWR out of it, maybe because of the way I have it set up. The best thing about this antenna is it covers 20 meters and 40 meters with a decent SWR and really does a great job on 20 meters. Again 40 meters is pretty decent and better than some shortned 40 meter dipoles i've used.
