That is a very unusual looking antenna. I would be concerned about how 
well it would hold up to the high winds I sometimes get, and the snow 
and ice that I get in the winter.

I wonder why they compared it to a 43' vertical. I have used a 26' 
vertical. I haven't lived on a property that had a yard big enough in 
which I could have assembled a 43' vertical lying on the ground before 
it got raised to its vertical orientation.
