If you want to buy one antenna that does it all on HF - This is it !! Excellent reports on this antenna from around the world - cuts through any pile-up. The beam width is not as narrow as the big Yagi antennas, and therefore you don't have to always be "spot-on" beaming on any operator. Make no mistake, this antenna is just as powerful as the biggest Yagi antenna on sale. A winner and highly recommended. My daily workhorse antenna.
