I’ve had both the 18 foot and 31-foot versions of this antenna. I cannot recommend them enough. I live in New York City and am lucky enough to have a landlord who allows me to put one antenna on the roof.
I have made contact all over the place, the continental U.S., Europe and Western Africa with the 31-footer. I am only using 10 radials as it is not my roof, and I am lucky to have what I have as it is. I use the 18-footer for portable operations in Central Park. The antenna comes with a 4:1 Unun, use it if you are going to work more than one band. I also recommend using an external antenna tuner. I don’t need it for either antenna above 20 meters but do need it for 20- and 40-meter operation. You cannot go wrong purchasing this antenna.
