I have the Ultralite Senior and am very happy with it. I have it at 30
feet with the ends dropping down about 15 feet since my lot isn't big
enough. I bought it primarily as a local contact antenna since
everything else I have is a vertical of one type or another. It turns
out to work much better than I expected. I have worked the South
Pacific, Europe and Peter One on it with 100 watts. I use the full 100
feet of ladder line it came with to a 4:1 balun through a remote
antenna switch and 50 feet of LMR400 coax. Sometimes it receives better
than my verticals and it almost always is quieter. In fact that is why
I used it for Peter One, I couldn't pick what calls they were coming
back to because of the noise on the vertical and half square. My TS-480
internal tuner tunes it on every band, even 6 meters which there are no
claims for.

Yes, the Ultralite Senior is quite effective! Mine is at 60 feet at the
apex and the "Vee" droops down to about 20 or so. I get pretty nice signal
reports both from local and afar. You can't always win 'em all, but when an
antenna works *reasonably* well most anywhere you work, a fella can't ask
for much more! And I am perfectly happy with mine.
