I have both the Imax 2000 and the Antron 99 I have used the Antron 99 antennas since the late 19980's early 1990's I have had great luck with them. I never put my Imax 2000 up or tried it yet and wont until I get the ground kit as I run the kits on my antrons aswell.
I have tuned my Antron 99 antenna on 6,10,11,12,15,17 and 20 meters!!! There are better antennas for specific bands but what the antennas do is amazing you will not find this kind of coverage in other antennas. A so called (splatter stick) cheap built antenna or not I give these antennas 2 thumbs up and recommend them to anyone.
As far as splattering RF any antenna will do this if you set your radio up like a knucklehead blast audio gains and run the fire in the wire to boost that splattering signal. As far as being built cheap well WE ARE TALKING ON A RADIO NOT JOUSTING OR SWORD FIGHTING!! So really?? Is it made that cheap?
Last but not least THE BAND COVERAGE FOR UNDER $100.00!!! Where else are you going to find that kind of deal?? Rather your a amateur radio operator or not you can look in AES or simular distributor books or look at prices of antennas that cover less amateur bands and see what they sell for and you decide what the best deal is.
Being fiberglass unlike the other aluminum amateur antenna manufactures its been tested and proven the fiberglass runs well through rain snow and sleet without dramatic SWR changes.
WIDE BANDED TROUBLE FREE LOW COST ANTENNA THATS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND SETUP What more does a person want and when your a beginner just looking to get a taste of the hobby its a no brainer.
