Great HF Antenna for snowbirds.

This is a great antenna for use when my 5th-wheel trailer is parked. I’ve used wire antennas and Hustler Resonators successfully, but my wife does not like me climbing ladders anymore. Alpha Antenna is the solution. I set mine up in under 5 minutes, making sure I was doing things right. Now it’s a shorter time period, and I expect 60 seconds soon. I didn’t tie the antenna down, and a gust of wind knocked it down. Once weighted down, it stayed put. My first contact was from Friendswood, Texas, to Western PA on 15m. A week later I made a contact with a station in Northfield, MN from Friendswood, TX. How’s that for a vertical antenna! I am looking forward to ordering some extra parts in the future to try different mounting locations.

I called Steve, and I agree with others that Alpha Antenna customer service can’t be beat. We miscommunicated on my initial order, and I received the antenna with the claw pole grip. A call to Steve corrected that, and he sent me the tripod version and a return mailing label. He also told me I needed to guy the antenna down using the tripod.
