Hello Richard and thanks for your reply. I'm a bit confused though when
you say, " above the first,
lowest listed band (which by reports often reveals: poor)." Could you
clarify?

Hi Nomen,
In the GAP line of vertical antennas (not speaking about this joke of
the Super C); each antenna performs poorly on its lowest operational
band. Otherwise, it works as well as the ad-hoc vertical tuned for
any of the higher bands. The Eagle DX (I have one) is not very
remarkable on 40M.
The larger models, reported here by others, exhibit equally poor
reports on their lowest operational band, and generally good marks for
the higher bands. It does well to elevate the antenna to obtain what
good qualities that are reported here. Mine is at 10 feet above
ground at the edge of a car port. It is unguyed and has survived some
very heavy wind (around 60MPH).
