Thanks for the follow-up e-mail after my purchase. The short story is that I am very pleased with the antenna. The extremely easy installation and take down is easily half the reason I am so pleased with it. I found that my Yaesu ATU and my LDG tuner both handled a match across each band that the antenna covers. I recently camped for a week in the High Sierras at nearly 6000 ft. elevation and used the antenna mainly for reception with an FT-450 and an FT-817. The end of my camp week was Field Day so you might understand that I couldn’t get many valid signal reports during a contest period! I did make my own radial kit which helped SWR a bit and I did invent a foot sleeve of my own to stake down the tripod legs during windy periods. So again, thank you for your inquiry and for producing a fine high quality and effective antenna so that I may quickly set up for CW operation from my RV.
