Has anyone ever used this antenna or have any feedback on it. I'm looking for an HF antenna that will fit on my small roof and not detune. Imax 2K and Comet GP15 are 20 to 25 feet away.

Thanks,

Stephen

What do you mean by 'not detune'?

Is twenty to twenty five feet far enough away from the other antennas as not to interfere with it's perfomence?

Anything metallig or Earth in the field will have some effect on it. However, if all you care about is SWR, 25 feet will have minimal effect except on the lower bands.
