It is working for low power and I am using it for FT8; but the ends need to be soldered to prevent the frayed ends from arcing in the presence of high power. I am still not sure if my investment is paying off. The signals seems to be a bit lower than on the Flagpole/vertical, but it is a horizontal polarization, and in theory that tells me the vertical would be noisier than the horizontal.
