Recently purchased this antenna, The antenna arrived well packed with bubble wrap inside a strong box, The build quality is 1st class all stainless fittings with a water proof transformer. I have the antenna mounted at the base of a 10m telescopic pole then running down the garden just as a temporary install and im currently sat here RX saudi arabia at 5/7. so this a great antenna dont wait buy one i did . thumbs up

Ian is a very helpful guy.
Helped me out with my installation problems.
Antenna works spot on and is very well made with quality components and should last years even out live me (Old sod me)..
I would recommend this to anybody who has limited space.
My garden is only 9Mtr long so it runs from a 15ft pole down to a telescopic mast at around 20ft then back up the other side sort of and fastened with para cord that runs over my bungalow roof so it is like a horizontal V on a slope but working well even had a contact in the us from north wales not bad.

This is a good compromise antenna for small space. It is solidly built and it shows throughout. Although my lack of space presented some issues with tuning (The way i had installed the wire horizontal V) Ian was quick to offer sound advice and now the antenna is on a dx commander pole with the 80m coil hidden up a tree and tuning as it says on the tin.
I was having some fun with a cobweb antenna at 20FT but this wire is something else. I highly recommend buying this antenna… For some reason mines seems to tune on the top band 160m with the internal ATU (IC7300) also which is even better.
Thanks Ian

I have had the antenna (multiband) for approx. 18 months and was disappointed not from the build as the antenna is built with quality parts and arrived all bubble wrapped and ready to use. My disappointment was the performance but have found this was down to me and the way I first setup the antenna. My first setup was placed around my garden fence panels about 6 feet off the ground and could hardly hear anyone. My second attempt was placing the 49:1 about a foot from the ground up to a 10 foot pole in the corner of the garden and then sloping up to the apex of the roof. This was much better but could still only make a few hundred miles into Europe. Over the weekend I decided to change again and my 3rd attempt after reading other reviews, was to do an inverted L configuration. Placing the transformer about a foot from the ground, running up a 10 meter fibre glass pole and then running it to the apex of the roof. Wow is all I can say….. the antenna is performing fantastic and spoke to Florida and Brazil on 100 watts at 57/58. This is the first time I have heard USA so height is might as they say. Thanks to the reviews of others I resolved my issues so wanted to let people know in case people are having the same issues as I had. Fantastic antenna 5 stars! plus a great delivery time and would highly recommend this antenna.

I was brought up by my peers with the thought that “whenever you buy an antenna, an old Elmer turns over in his grave”, i.e. make you own! Well, after many years of making my own, sheer frustration and a 30-ft x 30ft back yard, made me look at what store-bought antennae were available; eventually deciding that this one should do the job …hopefully?
The aerial arrived, securely wrapped in bubble-wrap, within a strong cardboard box; where the quality of the fixtures and fittings was obvious right from the start. After downloading the installation instructions, my wife and I had it up in the air, and on the air, within an hour.
What a difference! Great reception on both transmit and receive ….I should have bought one of these years ago, instead of messing around with bits of wire! I’m so impressed with this aerial, that I’ve taken down all the others, and consigned them to the skip.
Great job, Ian; and thanks for all the advice – I’m one really happy bunny – Hi Hi
