mijn eerste contact ( my first contact on SSB) on this antenna was with SENEGAL !!!! in Africa ! (6W1QL) I do very little SSB HF these days but prefer the digital modes. I live in the middle of NOWHERE and we are very exposed to wind here.
(Last storm registered 164 KM p/h wind over the FastNet Lighthouse. I recommend most strongly that if you are buying one of Ron's Antennas, you buy the version where the wire is secured on the backing plate and NOT on the Balun transformer box. Ik have 40 meter of wire hanging from the backing plate and the pull loads on it must be significant. Another tip ? DO NOT pull the wire too tight. And make sure that your anchor points do not move. Especially important if you are going to use a tree as an anchor point.
