Jeff -

I use a counterpoise mount with the Outbacker, BUT the bandwidth on 75 and
80 meters i very narrow ( 50 KHz). No stringer is used for 160 meters and
as I remember it was even tighter .. pick your favorite 160 frequency and
adjustment the top whip for lowest SWR.

Thanks for your reply, Greg.

I believe Terlin used to make custom antennas, and I think this is one
of 'em. It's an older model. It has taps for 17m, 20m, 40m, and 80m (2
taps). I just installed it in my attic, and it loads fine on 20m, 40m
and 80m, but no-go on 160m (I may need more ground radials.
