Yes, it works as described. I built a 20M version and have it mounted
at about 45 ft between two trees. I'm working anything I can hear
with 135 watts...it takes a few calls sometimes.

I use it with a tuner on 40 thru 10 with very good results. I highly
recommend it.

Thanks, I did a google search but that site did not come up.

Note:
"I use it with a tuner on 40 thru 10 with very good results. I highly

This is no indication of performance. As Cebik says: " Swr does not
indicate what the antenna is doing, only what the feedline is doing".

High losses will show up as low SWR!. This gimmik antenna is not
worth putting up.
