Have had a great time on HF since getting started in February of 2012. Took me that long to get an antenna up that worked. I still had the old quad band vertical but it no longer worked. Put up the Polartron P-99 that I had bought for use with the motorhome and used it until 11/04/12 when some friends helped put up a 50 ft mast and an offcenter fed wire array. Works great.
