SUPER HEAVY DUTY GROUND MOUNT			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received the mount on Tuesday and installed it on Wednesday. The Subject line says it all ... I was very impressed with the quality of the materials used and the extra bit of machining that was done so as to fit the MA-160V Vertical exactly. How he does all this for that price is beyond me, must be operating a not-for-profit company ! The Vertical is up and it was a piece of cake with this superb mount.

A must have for verticals!!			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have this foldover on my 43 foot vertical ,I can raise and lower my vertical in minutes. The 180degree tiltrange is great. I have my vertical up on a slight hill, so it will lay on the ground without the need to prop the vertical up on enything. It has been up for more than a year and withstood everything . I can say I am very please with this product. 73 Gus N9CC

180 DEGREE FOLD OVER MOUNT			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have this Foldover mount on the base of my vertical dipole.Also a ZEROFIVE Product I bought. My yard is on a slight incline ,So the 180 degree foldover mount comes in handy.I have it mounted to a 2 inch pipe in the ground and when I fold it over it is about 110 degree's.This is a very simple to operate foldover mount,Which is built like a tank.It only takes a minute to let the vertical down without binding up.Very smooth operation. All in all I am very happy with Tom's products JIM WK9P ---------------------- Earlier 5-star review posted by KC9BGT on 2005-11-02 I purchased two of these heavy duty fold-over mounts for my 40 meter NVIS dipole project. The tree's I have simply, would not work for my project. Tom came up with an idea: to use two fold over mounts and then I could attach two 10’ masts to them. My NVIS dipole is strung between the two 10’ masts at the top, 8’ below that is a reflector for added gain. All I can say is “WOW, this works GREAT!” My local signal reports are about 300 miles, using 100 Watts. When I need to tune the dipole or the reflector I just pull the top bolts out and lay it down. This is a Nice and easy setup for someone with an awkward tree positioning or no trees in their yard. Thanks for your help once again Tom. 73’s JIM KC9BGT

Bullet Proof!			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have now endured three, major storms here in the Chicago area, and my ZERO FIVE, 43-ffot multi-band vertical sitting on top of the heavy duty, fold over mount came through each storm with flying colors. My wind speed indicator read 91-miles an hour for the first blig blow; number 2 storm registered 72 mph, and the most recent, Dec., 07 screamer measured 58 mph. I have reported on this and other ZERO FIVE verticals before, and I continue to work a tremendous amount of DX on 20; 40; 75 and 17 meters. Having used stacked arrays in the past, I decided to go with this setup because of backyard space availability issues. From the very first DX QSO to the present time, I instantly realized the ZERO FIVE products I have are fabulous investments. Orrin K9KEJ

Fantastic			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just put up two 40 meter verticals supplied by Zerofive and fed them using the Comtech system recommended (PVS40). Tom (Zerofive's ownwer) shipped out the two within days of getting the order and made sure I got them on a Saturday. The quality of constructions is the BEST! After getting them set 1/4 wavelength apart and feeding them through the Comtech 90 degree phasing L/C setup the results have been FANTASTIC. The "book" is about 3 db gain but I am sure it is much better, and the back side is at least down 20db. I lined the pair up East and West, and they play very well going NE, E, SE, W, NW, SW. Results North and South were amazingly good off the side of the lobes. What a great and fun antenna. Tom K0GKD PS Want a demo...you can hear me on 40M most evenings!

great unit, great service			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I bought my foldover from Tom on ebay also.We emailed back and forth to get the correct size of ss hardware.Got the unit fast and looked at the package thought to myself, this is too small, wont be able to hold up the mast (38 ft) but boy was I ever wrong.It is built heavy and works great.I have put up different antennas and wires and it worked great.Fold it over and right back up with only myself.The way this works, I have no doubt that Tom's antennas are also great. Would buy again

Superior Workmanship			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Tom's workmanship is the best I've seen. The material is heavy duty, designed to last a lifetime. The stainless clamps are made so that they fit snuggly with various mount diameters. The product makes pushing antenna masts into position so much easier. Also, my experiences with Tom's service has always been excellent.

Heavy Duty High Quality Product			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Now this is a real heavy duty high quality foldover mount. Tom not only makes an outstanding product but he makes sure it's customized to your application. My vertical base fits the mount like a glove. Tony K2SG

Great service; great product			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very high quality workmanship and materials are evident in this mount. Nothing flimsy about it. I bought the mount from Tom in an eBay auction. At no extra charge, Tom customized the size of the aluminum tubing to match the base of my Steppir vertical antenna - fits like a glove. After he shipped the unit, he followed up to make sure that all was well. Doesn't get better than that in my book. Jamie Punderson, W2QO
