Any users out there?

Not a user - just a general comment.

With a proper ground plane, these antennas are effective on 10m-20m.
For portable/base operation, you can always do better on 30m-160m
with larger/longer antennas.

Make an inverted-L out of it - even if the 'horizontal' part slopes down
towards the ground.
