Anybody use this antenna and have any reports on it. Reviews on eHam all 5.0/5.0. Also does anyone have any of the spec on it besides what you can get on the sales sites, or maybe even an electronic version of the manual/instrutions for it?
Thanks, 73

I had a simular antenna on 2 meters it will go 144-148 at less that 2 / 1 and under 3/ 1 at 151.82 on 440 it goes 430-460 under 2 to 1. Mu new one is 3 not 2 ... 1/2 waves stacked and it is slightly less wide ..... great antenna for nets!

Thanks Bruce. Your inclusion of 151.82 is interesting as I too use that frequency often up here and was wondering if this antenna had the bandwidth to get me there. 3:1 is not too bad at 2 watts for the local stuff I do.
Thanks again for the info.
