5.0 out of 5 stars Easy To Setup, Good Performance
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
For limited space this antenna fits the bill. Easy to assemble, good instructions, good quality. Has been subject to some moderate winds and has held up well without guying. I have recently added a guy system as a precaution. Only drawback is that to switch bands one needs to walk to the antenna to change the tap on the coil. Overall performance is quite good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for the price
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022

Its definitely not up to par with better known brands, but it does its job with minor modifications. I got rid of the manual coil that you have to fiddle with to change bands and put on a homebrew 5:1 (designed after and alpha matching unit) and it works beautifully with the tuner. I wouldn't want to use it on a windy day though, the metal bends easily.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

The overall quality/design including the tuning coil is garbage. Also would be nice for customers that aren't mechanically inclined to actually wire the thing at the factory. It looks like something you would slap together in a few hours with random parts you found in your garage. I had to modify the crap out of it to get it tuned and working properly. Save your money, and get a Comet multiband antenna, in hindsignt I wish I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars That is manual tuning only.
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
If you mount it up high so you can get the best signal. However, you will have to go up and manually change the tuning every time you change bandwidth. I wish I had noticed that before I bought it. I would love to have a remote tuner that I can install on it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not automatically multiband.
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2022

There is a coil you have to change the tap on to change bands. I should have researched it better. Planning to add a relay to make it so. I'm looking at some of the pics people have posted and one person assembled it with the coil around the antenna, looks more solid than hanging outside in the air like they suggest. It's pretty flimsy, and you could build a better one out of copper tubing starting with like 2" and after about 5' recuce it to 1 1/2" then 1" and 1/2". The coil is not very good, one made with 1/8" copper tubing would be better. It works, I can hear WWV from CT and my EFHW wire can't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent antenna, easy to assemble

Excellent antenna, easy to assemble. The only down fall of the antenna is that to change frequencies, is that you have to go outside and manually move a clip and try to guess if you have it in the correct location. It can be done quite well by guessing.
