Hello Gentlemen,
I have been using the b&w folded dipole for about 5 years, it works great on
all the bands, low SWR and it is fool proof. I have a FL-7000 amp which is
very touchy about SWR and it has no problem with this antenna. The antenna
is very well made, the only issue I have with it is on 75 meters, it appears
not to radiate as well as the other bands, but that's ok, I have a IAC 75
meter bazooka which works very well. I have the antenna angled from the
chimney to a tree in the back yard, one end it about 50 feet and the other
about 25 feet above the ground.

Just one more note, both antennas are a bit pricey but I have been the route
with a lot of antennas for the past 28 years and these antenna are very well
made and can take the weather here in Cleveland.

73's,
