Excellent value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered the radial plate to help organize the radials for my wire vertical project. Ordered on Tuesday, shipped same day. Was very happy with the product when it arrived--high quality stainless steel at a very reasonable price.

Excellent Quality/Craftsmanship Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I purhcased this for use with the S9 Vertical wire antenna but since I already had a Hustler 6BTV up, I decided to use it with the 6BTV. It made tuning a snap but I still wasn't happy with the 6BTV (being a trap and the losses).

Also, I moved to Texas from California where I had an HF-2V with "another" competitors radial plate with a MUCH higher cost...

The S9 radial plate, is equal in construction and much less expensive and when you double up the radials per lug, it is equal to the higher cost one.

I am very happy with this. I even "stored" the 6BTV and isntalled the radial plate with the new S9V vertical wire antenna that was in the garage...

Can't go wrong with this plate and the price!

Awesome service and outstanding products Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered several products from John of S9 Antennas, check his website, now my 36 radials are all neatly layed out on the ground and I can easily add more with ease which i planned to do as soon as i get more wire.

In my opinion this plate is of superior quality, rugged, neat looking, and thick enough to withstand the elements.
and i recommend John's S9 products.
Check it out before going to the other site that cost more.

Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bought one to go with my S9v vertical. Very, very nice radial plate for the cost ($19.95). Equal to the DX Engineering radial plate I bought for my 4BTV. Excellent plate. Highly recommend... as with the S9v.

Worth the money Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I would highly recommend this radial plate. It is high quality and less than half the cost of the competition. I installed one on a newly rebuilt Hy-Gain DX-88 this Spring and it still looks like new.

For those of us on a fixed budget, this radial plate is as good as more expensive alternatives. Highly recommend for your radial system.

Great Value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ditto the previous review. This is my first ground mounted vertical attempt so I purchased everything John has on sale except for the S9Jr. The plate is a must for this type of antenna and is a fine quality part. Just compare to others available and if you are on a limited budget, you will opt for this one. Way to go John!

Superb in all respects Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My radials looked more like a rats nest until I had the pleasure of purchasing S9 Antenna's Radial Plate. Now, at 19.95 this is the least expensive plate I have found, and the quality is superb. It is made of thick aluminum, comes with bolts, nuts, washers, and lockwashers, everything you need to attach and make a neat and organized radial hub for your vertical.

I ordered mine from John of S9 Antennas, check his website or on ebay. Took about 3 days to get to me by Priority mail. Boy, now my 54 radials are all neatly joined together and I can easily add more with ease.

This plate in my opinion is of superior quality, rugged, neat looking, and thick enough to withstand the elements.

You'll not find another product with this quality and price. I give John a 5 on this one. Thanks John!!!!!!!!!!!!
