HF Base antenna lives to specs, great value, good performer.

I live on a city lot. The neighborhood is full of trees but none on my lot. For the last couple of years, I have uses short wire antennas coming from the roof to the branches of neighboring trees with limited results. I never felt I had the space for radials since most of the bigger verticals want 60+ foot lengths. Then I discovered the S9V 31. It takes care of all these problems.

I give it top marks for the following reasons. First, it does everything it claims to do. Second, it is priced very well. Third, it works.

I have about 16 radials, a few of which are very short since the S9V is located near the corner of the lot. Where I can run 30-foot radials, I will be running as many as I can. Once I received the UNUN, it tuned well on all bands. It has great performance, and I feel like I have been given back the entire world again. (I used to have ten acres for antennas).

The first weekend I had it up, we were visited by Hurricane Irene. It took only ten seconds to lift the pole off the pipe and lay it on the ground. No worries at all.

It is virtually invisible against a background of green shrubbery and the two neighbor’s trees. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
