I took one to CN91 a couple of years ago for contest. It may work well for local contacts but it didn't have the gain we needed for the long haul. We used it on 6/2/432, it was made for that purpose. The next year we went back to beams to get the gain. Richard WD6HDY six#165, WSWSS #145, 10-10# 43512, CGC #435
