Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to install in several configurations. Not an easy antenna to * and secure, but it sure kicks * once it is in the air and functioning!
Contrary to nay-sayers, this antenna works very well. Works great up there. Worked brazil, denmark, heard all over the world in just a few weeks of use.
This is great for my property. Exactly as pictured. Appears to be well made. Very pleased with quality and performance so far.
Cons
One end insulator was not properly fastened and fell off during installion. It doesn't resonate at all on 160m 60m or 30m either. I'm disappointed if this is mfj quality.
