Great Buy! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Well made. Easy to assemble. Antenna can be assembled to meet either Phone or CW modes - can't have both. I chose Phone (SSB). Followed assembly directions for the ground mount vice the roof mount. Mounted the antenna on a chain link fence post - bottom of antenna about three feet off the ground. Was able to tune 10, 15, and 20 meter phone bands using an MFJ-901B. Made contact with a Russian station almost immediately from my QTH in North Idaho using a TenTec Scout (50 watts). Made contacts around the US on all three bands and received good signal reports.

Well made,reliable Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I used one of these antennas back in the 70's and
remember that it worked well. I never had any
problems with it. I had it mounted on top of the
house on top of a 10' mast. I used 2 radial's
per band as HY-Gain suggested. I think I paid
around $100 for it and I think it still sell's
for about that amount. So, in my opinion the
12AVQ is a quality antenna at a very good price.
