>build quality and survivability: I purchased and installed this antenna last September, 2012. After that, in our area, hurricane Sandy went through, and, several other fronts with sustained winds > 60mph. I left the Max 2000 up during all. It still looks new this spring. Also, the antenna is in Rochester, NY with snow, ice and temps below 20F on a normal winter basis. Antenna has no cracks in any joint after one winter. I do use "Protect All" fiberglass protector on the antenna every six months. >SWR. I did not cut my Solarcon or modify it in any way. When my Solarcon base is mounted 6 feet from the ground, without the GPK ground plane, and rings set to the bottom of their range: 28.400 Mhz - 1:1.2 (10m) 27.205 Mhz - 1:1.8 (11m) 24.940 Mhz - 1:2.9 (12m) 21.300 Mhz - 1:2.6 (15m) 18.110 Mhz - 1:2.2 (17m) I added 6 ground radials 1/4 wave on each side of the mast, for 11m, 12m and 17m. This lowered 17m SWR to 1:1.8 but increased 12m and 15m slightly. I left them. I use the antenna on 12, 15, 17m with an old MFJ 901B manual tuner at the radio. Works great to lower SWR to 1:1.1 for the radio impedence matching needs. (does not do anything to reduce the actual SWR on the line). I have tested with and without a coax RF choke and definitely the RF choke helps the antenna perform better. You can see the results of the experiment across the bands and also a photo of my antenna install at: http://www.qrz.com/db/N2UJN However, if I raise the antenna base to 14 feet, receive is better, but 17m SWR is 8, reducing the efficiency to 60%. Perhaps earth ground, which lowers the SWR, is reducing the antenna efficiency to 60% when I lower it to get a good SWR. I am using EZNEC at this time to explore that. > Contacts. As a new Amateur operator on the HF bands, looking for an inexpensive way to experience a few contests, make some good contacts, learn the protocol, and not offend my neighbors with a big antenna....this antenna is working for me. You can see my LOTW most recent confirmed contacts at the above qrz link for my page. I think I have more than 60 countries since December on 10m - 17m. > Install. The total cost to install, including coax, galvanized pipe, 2 ground rods, post hole digger to sink the pipe, and PL-259, for me, was around $220. That works out to something like 38 cents per country if we are trying to get a value metric. The antenna is very light, so, I can maneuver it on a no wind day by myself. I DO NOT use the locking nuts that are sent with the antenna. They rust. Rather, I carefully file off the stubs and screw the antenna together without the locking washers...... So, for new General Licensees, like me, I recommend this antenna. It allows you/us new hams to experience HF, learn the ropes, explore, without a huge investment in tower, beam, permits, and neighbor angst. Good antenna. One down side: no bragging rights for this one. I do get through about half the pile ups I enter into. But, that is not because of the antenna, but, because of technique.

First off, this is one tall honking antenna. That being said, I put it up by myself in about 45 minutes. Two people would be better, it can be done with one. Right now it is mounted to the side of my wood frame single story house on a 15 foot pole. I am happy with the results. I will be modifying the mounting in the future. I am a fairly new amateur radio operator. I have been a short-wave listener for decades. I was also an avid CB guy back in the day. I purchased this mainly for use on 10 meters. On my 15 foot mounting pole, the SWR on about 28.3xx MHZ is absolutely flat with a 5 watt CW signal. At 100 watts the SWR meter will move a little to about 1.2:1. On 15 meters the SWR is about 1.3:1 with 25 watts. With my MJF-945E antenna tuner, this thing is usable on 6 meters. I got a 1.4:1 SWR with a 25 watt CW tuning signal on 6 meters. The SWR started going up with the power after about 25 watts, my mounting location is a bit poor and I am guessing that my feed line was radiating. The cool thing for me, is that this antenna does a heck of a job of pulling in 40 meter (and HF shortwave), if you just like to listen in. It is also a quiet antenna. I was a bit surprised at all of the 40 meter conversations I was hearing, and I did not need to use the radio's DNR. Below about 5 MHZ, the RX signal strength started dropping on my FT-450D. I am completely happy with this buy. Edit 12/25/2014: The more I use this antenna on 10 meters, the more I am amazed by how well it works. When the band is open, it is an incredible antenna. I had a QSO from my Southern Cal location into Tokyo Japan yesterday with only 10 watts of TX power on USB. A few minutes later I was talking into Georgia (US) on 5 watts. My radio will not go any lower on transmit or I would have tried. I would have to guess that the lower radiation angle lets the signal hit the ionosphere at an optimum angle for a bounce.
