Yes, and there was a older thread from concrete that had pictures of the antenna in his shop long before the DM version showed up. I don't contest that the Vector is a interesting design, the are hundreds of pages of info and debate and modeling that show it can be a very effective antenna when...

'm sounds like mine's bigger than your's kind thing, but hey it's only money right? No one thinks of RX. Actually there are a couple on .025 that do, Prime is running a small beam on his little station, and some cat called motor mouth maul seems to get out.... 73 Jeff

Search for the " Dave made Javelin Antenna" Someone, I think it was Concrete, was working on a big beefy model of the Vector years ago, there might be a picture or two still on the forum, it was many years ago. $1200 is a lotta money for a single vertical antenna, unless you live on top of mount...

My brother has one fairly new, 15 meters, then jumps to 12 meters and up I think they just included 15 but not full coverage. I don't know what software version his is and I don't know if they are updating as they go along? 73 Jeff

They really did a good job of locking the door on out of band operations , never seen this model outside of 10 meters even though there were export clones that looked identical. Even the HTX-100 was not worth the effort as they only had USB and CW, but they did make a great 10 meter rig if left...

Sometimes those contacts are the best ones, nice to just have a conversation with out fighting s-9+ DX, cool stuff. 73 Jeff
