Found Gold in this multi-band multi-use HF antenna.

This has become my primary base antenna, and my HyGain vertical and G5RV that saw many years of use are now my backup antennas. This antenna is quieter than my G5RV at 35 feet and has a good 3-4 S-Units more on transmit and receive than either of my other two antennas.

I wouldn’t leave the tripod out year-round, but it’s good to leave out for a week or two…definitely a good field day tripod. For year-round outdoor installation, I use the stainless-steel jaw mount that comes with the system. This edition also does have a bit larger bag than the standard Military version. This larger bag accommodates the tripod, included Counterpoise, and all the other things that make this combination package a ‘best value’ among any other manufacturers antenna systems (in my opinion). It even came with the 5-foot mobile whip so that the system can be used as a mobile antenna. I didn’t even have to buy another mount, as I use it on my tri-mag mount in the middle of the roof of my car, which works as good as any of my Hamsticks that I now don’t have to change because this is a multi-band antenna!

It would be a crime if I failed to mention the great service that Steve, James, or the rest of their crew have provided whenever I email or call them. And another thing, once you hold the Mil-Stick whip or Alpha Match that they build, you will understand how tough their products are no matter how extreme your environment is.
