Some of you may have seen my thread about this antenna in the tuners, etc category.
Here is a link to it: http://www.w5gi.com/mysteryantenna.htm
I just built my second one of these, gave the other to a buddy to try out. This second one is exhibiting similar specs to the other one, <2:1 SWR on 80, 40, and 20, and easily tunable on 17, 15, 12, 10, and 6.
This antenna is really amazing me. Marshall Islands on 17, Slovenia, Russia, Italy, and all over US and Canada and Caribbean on 20, Spain on 40 as well as all over North America. 80 meters works great, too.
All with just 100 watts and an MFJ tuner, often without the tuner. I just can't get over how well it works, and how relatively quiet it is compared to my Imax 2000.
www.thewireman.com has a kit or any of the components you might need to make one. If I can do it, ANYBODY CAN!!! This second one only took me 2 hours.
It is also a fantastic shortwave / mediumwave receiving antenna.
