Nick--
I am just finishing putting up four of the HD versions (125 MPH wind rating)
of this antenna for a marine application in Rhode Island. (Also putting up
four of
the 6-10LP5s.) They are certainly well built and the performance appears very
good so far. The VSWR curve appears to be very close to their curve in
the manual. The 8L LPs are at about 60 ft and the 5L ones are at 80 ft.
The LP will NOT be a 5 element monobander on each band--but I think
it will certainly perform equal to a good tribander on each band and
give you all of the WARC bands as well.
Plus it is a very nice looking antenna, aesthetically, in my opinion.
I think you would be pleased with the M2 antenna.
