Happy with the product and performance. I was also testing the antenna on uhf today and it worked like charm. It’s amazing.
Set up on my ten story terrace. Pulling in all kinds of stations on all the bands. Very happy with the performance of my Mag Loop. Well made should last for years.
If you’re not looking at a mag loop antenna you need to look again. Alfa Antenna has the best mag loop antennas on the market!
GREAT Product works even better than advertised! I will be purchasing the 80 meter add-on soon! 73 – Shane Jackson
