[Elecraft] Anyone using a DESpole?

[Wes (N7WS)]

There was a non-technical review of it in the March 2014 QST (p.54)

I'm put off by the hype: "/*Breakthrough electromagnetic and mechanical 
engineering powers high-performance dipole arrays covering multiple bands with 
full-size efficiency. "

*/This appears to be nothing more than what Gary Breed calls a 
"coupled-resonator dipole" in, /The ARRL Antenna Compendium, Vol 5./ and 
republished in the /ARRL Antenna Book.///(Chapter 10.5) in the latest 
edition.//Hardly a breakthrough./

/I'm looking at building one, without the bent elements, for the WARC bands.
