This is an add-on to my original review. I ran the 31′ version of the S9v at our FD effort this year. We had a relatively casual 4A effort, and I ended up on the air till about local midnight, and then back on the air around local 7 am. I was only running phone contacts on 20m initially and then 40m for the rest of the contest. I was able to run a frequency on both bands with just my 100watts out, and worked virtually anyone I could hear when searching and pouncing. The SG-231 and the S9v with 16 radials gave me a perfect match on both bands. I made 125 contacts on 20m and 379 on 40m. The set up and tear down were quick and easy. It doesn’t get any easier than this for FD! I have finally ended my quest for an excellent FD antenna.
