i got it mounted to the steel fence post i use to set antennas and use a few days before they go up high.
my first impression was DANG ITS BIG.
was easy to assemble. i did some thinking and marked the top stinger to the lenght of each band. ive got it set on the 10 meter measurement. first try was just a tad high,lowered it half inch.it set on 1.1 to 1 across the band.above and below 10 meters it was decent vswrs.
i did notice couple things im concerned with. the 2 little screws in each section in the plastic housing and how stout is the coil?
if the screws work loose im cutting a slit and using hose clamps at every joint like the first joint is coupled.
another thing to ease assembly use majic marker make a line where all screw holes are in each mast section. so far i got a few contacs and am happy.
midnight my black cat likes the antenna box too
