I have used a PAR end fed with my K1 at the beach. I feed it at the top and run it from the condo balcony down at a slope to somewhere I can tie it off where no one will run into it. It works very well - better than an Outback vertical attached to the balcony. So far, no one has complained and no one has tried to pull it down. The K1 auto tuner will tune it to other bands and it works but I am sure the efficiency is compromised.

It slopes from 10 ft outside my shack to 40 ft up into a redwood tree. I do not have a lot configuration for a decent 40M dipole. Although not recommended by PAR, I have worked stations on 60 and 80 meters with it using the K3 autotuner. I cannot compare the performance to other wires, however, the unit is well made and has survived two winters and summers fine. It worked well with my previous Yaesu rig, and seems to be fine with my new K3. No rare DX, but I can usually work 'em if I can hear them. Support is very good, questions answered quickly.
