I have had this antenna up 35 feet since 1990 and has always worked great for me ,wondering if anyone else has one up or has had one in use in the past .This antenna has been through some tremendous winds and held up great.Any comments from past and present users of this antenna.
 

I had one back in the 90's didn't see much difference between it and a Shakespeare big stick or an archer 5/8's ground plane... just my 2 cents
 
I had one in 90's also. Was up 60 feet from base. Worked well for many yrs till lighting got her. Thank god that was all!
 
One of my locals also had one back in the 90's and he loved it. He's no longer on the air but supposedly the antenna is still up on his roof.

    Hello I have a old school 2950 receives great on all modes and transmits great on AM but no transmit on SSB. Does anyone have any idea?
