Good Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A few nights ago I was running 40M CW. The pile-up of U.S. stations quickly formed, and that he was running 300 watts.
Very good reception in 80 and 40. You have to fight a bit to adjust, but that only refers to the height of the ends, as the manual says.
Mine was a 18 m high, v inverted.

Good dual band HF antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The construction is decent and the 75/80 operation is better than the Alpha Delta DX-DD. The bandwidth is better and signals are a tad stonger in most cases. 40 meters appeared to be equal and the overall noise is a little less with the ULTIMAX8040.

Really Good Antenna !! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bought this antenna with high expectations and i was not dissapointed. Construction of the antenna is excellent and i'm hearing stations much better than with my windom.Signal reports i'm getting are great . The SWR's on 80 and 40 meters are very good and the bonus feature i was not expecting was the internal tuner on my Yaesu Mark V tunes all the bands quickly except 10 meters but the out board tuner tunes it.All i can say is buy one try one and enjoy using.

GREAT ANTENNA Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is one of the best built antennas I have seen. The quality of the materials, ease of installation, and the customer service is outstanding. It tunes perfectly "out-of-the-box" on 40 and with a couple twists on the tuner it resonates great on 75/80 without any modification to the design. I use an AL-1200 and get a flat match using full power. The manufacture sent very clear instructions on tuning the antenna.

A GREAT PRODUCT and I WILL buy other antennas.
