For reference, i have it mounted on an arm attached to a tv antenna mast at about 20 feet up, using 40 feet of rg-58u coax. Very easy to install. Attached to an extensional pool cleaning rod and bungeed to the tongue jack on a travel trailer.

Reception appears a tad weaker compared to a yogi style i have up as well, but only just slightly. Hooked this up to my midland mxt400 base unit and works great. The receive seems ok, but i can't test the transmit as i'm not yet licensed.
