The antenna was easy to put together and use. I was able to load the antenna on all bands with the aid of a manual tuner, except 6m for which I made no effort to use. Due mainly to band conditions I made contacts on only 20m In all, I was able to complete 15 QSOs using FT8. Of those 15 QSOs I had a better signal report than the other station 7 times and the same signal report 1 time. I also has 7 incomplete QSO in which I had the better signal report 6 times. One of the incomplete QSOs was on 30m, I had the better signal report. The antenna was mounted on an Alpha Delta Outpost tripod (no radials used) for all QSOs, this placed the antenna base no more than 3' above the ground. The antenna was on my back patio inside a 6' vinyl fence-definitely not in the clear; not a good location for getting the signal out. In all a neat little antenna!!!
