Year-round use 12 months in on this portable HF Antenna.

I purchased the portable HF FMJ antenna as I could take up to the cabin when I spend time up there. In the meantime, I have it set up outside the window at the house. It has performed flawless even with the terrible location at home. I am in between 3 bluffs and on a small lot in the middle of a city. Using the 6 ft tripod it came with, I am still able to hit most of the USA. When I took it up to Northern Minnesota in the woods, I was able to get out much farther then I even imagined. I talked with Italy, and all of the USA with no problem. Moving the NVIS wire, I was able to aim my signal wherever I wanted. A truly amazing antenna!

Over the year plus that I have had it set up, there has been no downgrade in its performance. I have taken the whip apart and cleaned it a few times, adding dielectric grease to keep things protected. Comes apart easily and reassembles in a few minutes!
