I have used this product for many years here in Central Florida. The only problem I have seen was someĀ overload due to 3 stations with-in 3 miles all running 5 KW. But since they drop to 1K/37 and 50 watts or so at night it was no problem. Since the 1KW went silent, the antenna has worked perfectly.
I have also sold several of these to my broadcast customers. Lee J Freshwater Ocala, FL IRCA EDXR /AWARDS & REPRINT SERVICE www.amlogbook.com www.bgs.cc --- On Wed, 9/24/08, W.

I had to replace one vertical element the victim of south Florida lightning -- the inside box was okay -- and did not consider not doing so. As soon as I get my act together I'll send the damaged unit to LFE for repair and then enjoy two H-800s. I use the H-800 for HF as well, so a second one will eliminate some conflicts. I have no facility for any sort of wire antenna. Instead I have the H-800 and an LFE M-601. I use that antenna combination with a Quantum Phaser. Unfortunately I can't offer any comparison with a wire, but I can say the H-800 works very well with a phaser. Curt ------- W.
