I had only used the antenna when I was on holiday. I think a combination of bad conditions and bad location limited my success. Today, I set it up in my yard and worked the world on 15, 17 and 20 meters. From Hawaii to Italy, Brazil, Croatia, Slovakia and Slovenia, I had no problem making CW contacts from MI.

In fact, I performed a shoot-out with my other antennas (dipole, vertical loop and GAP Titan DX). The Alpha Vertical held its own. Dialed the power down to 20 watts. No problem making contacts. Plus, the lowest signal report I got was 559.

So, thanks for manufacturing a FB product.
