Has anyone ever used a Diamond Antenna Model CR-11 on 11 meters and if so what are your thoughts about its performance?
Thanks...

From the article in the Diamond site it shows it to be a CR-11 Diamond 11m 200W 1/4 wave Whip 1.65m long. I would imagine it will behave somewhat like a 102 inch whip with slightly less DB gain. I have 2 meter diamond product and I think they are very well built.

I am using a F 22 A Diamond at 50 feet and can hit repeaters at 100 miles regularly. Very simple to set up and quality is good. I believe that the original question was about Diamond antennas.
