I was SO afraid that after all of the work (a few hours on a Sunday afternoon....) that the dumb thing would not work right....and I would have to put it up and take it down just like adjusting a dipole. I was in absolute shock when I noticed a 1.1 to 1 match the first time up in the air! In fact, the SWR on the upper band edge wasn't even high enough to monkey with since I was using it for CW/SSB anyway. (And had adjusted the elements and gamma match according to instructions for this lower frequency segment.) It was only about 1.6 to 1 on the top side of six meters.
Great craftsmanship, easy instructions, and again....I was SO HAPPY to hit the SWR I did right from the get-go!
I worked a lot of "E" skip last summer. And used a simple Archer rotator available at "Radio Scrap."
By far, a quality Yagi at a VERY reasonable price and polite, prompt service. I'm hoping to use it once again to work a little "E" skip on the magic band this summer.
