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 gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
