Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a good little antenna. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because it stretches over time and droops a bit. This is to be expected with copper wiring, I suppose. Maybe copper-clad steel would make a better antenna. I usually use it as an inverted V, 30 feet up at the highest point. Also, I can only reach out about 600 miles with it and can often barely hear people with it, while 99% of other hams seem to do much better. I did once have a contact from MS to UT, but that was a QSO with a guy who had an antenna setup like a commercial radio station! He had a 60 M vertical antenna, with 120 radials at .4 wavelength, all tailored for the 60 M band. He was only putting out 4.3 W, as well! So with this antenna, I'm supposed to be able to use 50W relative to a .5 wavelength dipole. But others who use these specifications seem to get much better performance than I do. Maybe I need an amplifier to help boost the signal. Sometimes I've even used 100 W, to no avail. Remember, it has to operate LIKE 50 W feeding a .5 wavelength dipole. But it's a pretty good little antenna. Maybe I just need to work on my antenna a bit to get it doing top-notch performance.
