Haven’t field tested it yet but impressed with the build quality. will be doing so coming weekend. will keep you posted. Protected_User_1806ab9a Verified owner November 11, 2025 2-40M VHF HF Vertical AntennaVerified review - view originalThis antenna is spot on. The extendable antenna is heavy duty, and very well built. The rest of the components are equally well built. I just wish the storage bag was larger to more easily accomodate with wires and tent stakes.
