this has been a gret antenna for me had it about 40 feet to the tip and a 2980 and dx350 and that was an awsome setup but about a month ago we got a bad wind storm and blew it down (the pipe broke not the ant.) now i need to get a new one and will probably be this again i would never be afraid of another one it is a great antenna for the price and i would recomend it to anyone any day

I have had one of these in the air for over 20 years. Yeah the glass starts giving out after 10 years or so, got past this by sealing it with heat shrink tubing.
