Have to see how it really plays this season.

It's pretty quiet. And reasonably flat across the SW broadcast bands.
But it does creditably across the ham bands, as well.

You'll find it better than a random wire except on the very lowest
bands.

We'll see. Last time I had this antenna up was about 1990 or thereabout.

I oriented this one at about 150/330 degrees. Unfortunately at only 16' elevation at
this time, but it seems to play fairly well. I do notice differences between it and
my 70' and 200' wires.

I'll try to get my camera out (and re-learn how to use it!) and take some new pics.
