Yes, wouldn't want him to believe it will
withstand "asteroid & comet impacts" :-)
But in fairness, the reviews of this antenna at
eHam are surprisingly positive:

One of my earliest antennas, in the 1954-55
timeframe was a gerrymandered classical Windom
with a single wire feed, no transformers, etc. --
and one not very high up. Since I didn't know any
better, it worked great and I worked lots of DX
running 75 Watts (DC input power) on 40-80 CW. Of
course, later I learned that it's a very poor
antenna so I'd never use one now ;-)

7-band, no tuner required, Buckmaster OCF

tank's tank. Mine has been up for years thru
high winds (100mph+), ice storms as well as
asteroid & comet impacts. Very low to flat SWR
on all bands that it's designed to operate on.
Great signal reports worldwide. Mine is
installed as an inverted V. Get one. Thank me
later. You're welcome in advance.
