I worked some CA QSO party from the middle of
PA on 20 meters with it, and all I could hear I could work (100 watts)


While you can not work a station if you can not hear it, that is no way to
compair an antenna. I have an off center fed antenna up 45 feet and a
tribander up 57 feet. I can hear more on the beam than I can on the OCF .
I can probably work all I can hear on either antenna. It is I just hear
beter on the beam on the bands it is cut for.


Its not meant to be a definitive test of the antenna, but I have used
some antennas where that was not the case, Hopefully this is not the
sort of group where one has to take their antenna to a range before they
are allowed to comment on it, good or bad.

I used it, and didn't have trouble making contacts. Others can determine
if it works or not according to their own guidelines.
