I bought one this summer for use with my R-75 & 756Pro while camping, in
situations when I don't want to run a randomwire through the trees or around the site. The antenna works as advertised, and provides better signals off a whip antenna than I ever thought possible. During my tests, it was essentially equal to a 75-ft. randomwire I compared it to, at least on shortwave. Mediumwave reception, expectedly, was only fair for such a relatively short antenna at those frequencies. I also tried the Miracle Whip with a Degen DE1103, and the signals were far better than with the Degen's built-in whip antenna (again, except MW). The construction is very nice, and this is a well-built product. The portability factor and quick deployment is a primary reason for buying the Miracle Whip. When you consider the small "foot print" of the antenna, it is a good value. However, if you have room for a passive randomwire you will do just as well for a fraction of the cost.
