Its good if you want a decent performing multi-band antenna. The instructions show several ways to set it up, but I always put my feed point up in the air. I don't really like the idea of having the feed point on the ground. It doesn't perform quite as well as inverted V antennas at 34 feet, but it will get the job done. I do recommend putting a 1:1 current balun right at the SO-239. At least in my case I was able to tune it better than without... The wire is copper clad kevlar. 73 John Denison KD5YOU On 10/28/2023 11:35 PM, Douglas Kimpel via BVARC wrote: All, My Vertical did not make it through the summer!
