The MFJ 2990 is a 43 foot vertical antena that is very easy to put up and it is well built But the problem is that this antenna will not tune on 160 meters, I have 26 radials and I had to build and install a huge coil that sits one foot above the balum and adjust it with the antenna analyzer so I could tune 80 meters. I have called MFJ many times trying to get a solution but nobody seems to know how to make it work on 160 meters.
This is a good antenna for 80 through 6 meters but I can not recommend it for 160 meters I think MFJ should reconsider advertizing it as such.
