Hello CUBEX CO,

It is my pleasure to send you the picture of my MKIV-PT5L
that I use for 10/15 and 20 (no WARC installed)
feeding it with a coax for each band.
The pipe is 15m high over the building that is 20m high
so the overall high is 35 metres.

Hey Guys,

I've got the Mark II which I'm crazy about.  I just made my first contact on 40 meters with it.  What kind of a radiator would you expect it to be on 40?    I had no trouble loading it with the MFJ Tuner.
Got a 5/9 report. It's a half wavelength quad (could this be as good as a dipole?).

Thanks,
Blair

(Cubex comment - Blair's success on 40m is not typical, but hams have defied the "rules" many times before)

Gathering Mid Western storm clouds doesn't phase Gary W9WF.  His quad has already weathered two winter ice storms and he says it looks as good as when he first installed it ----

Recently Gary sent an update to the comments above -

" the quad also  survived a F3 tornado with total destruction 6 blocks away but no damage to the quad!"

Thanks, Gary W9WF
couldn't ask for anything better
