The antenna comes in one box but getting all the plastic wrapping off can be a challenge. But I understand why they pack it that way to protect the product. I unraveled the wire and installed the set screws in each section. The only problem was when I tried to pull the wire with the hook through the hole in the bottom section. The top section collapsed, and I had to push on the wire to get it back through again. I would suggest that for the top section which does not require a screw that maybe S9 could drill a little hole that a small screw could go in to avoid the top section from going back in. Also, the wire is not that flexible so be prepared to pull a little bit with the hooking tool to get it through the hole. Other than that, it took one hour to build the antenna and with the help of a friend it took about 20 to 30 minutes to put it on my ground pipe. I will write further reviews on the performance of the antenna. Mark KB3Z
