Honolulu vulmet

Hearing Honolulu aviation weather on 8.828 here in Iowa with a Par Ends SWL slug over a 10ft tall tree. LOL

Hey seriously-what do you think of that antenna-no joke?? I hear it is a great performer. I would like to know-I may get one.

It's seriously slung over a 10ft tree, on the north side of 2 houses to boot. I just threw it up there one COLD night with a piece of rope tied to it and a crescent wrench tied to the end of that for weight just so I could hear something. I've tried grounding it but haven't seen/heard any benefits yet. I've only had it and the R75 for 2 weeks so I am by no means one to advice ANYthing, But I have been getting very good reception so far with it in its current configuration.

I have the R7000 in my sig, but have yet to receive it.Should be here this Thursday. So I can't comment on that one, but thinking maybe another for it plus something 255/400 to go with it.
