Protected_User_998e4cc7 Verified owner September 17, 2025 ⚡ 9 Band Portable Vertical, a.k.a. POTA PerformerVerified review - view originalThe overall quality of the antenna system is excellent. The telescoping antenna is very heavy duty. I was very impressed with the performance as well. My third contact QRP was from Texas to Italy on 5 watts. The only improvement I would like to see is on the carry bag. It’s a little light weight. Protected_User_a477c21c Verified owner June 16, 2025 ⚡ 9 Band Portable Vertical, a.k.a.
