Hi:
I've used the (IIRC 105 thru 1300 MHz ?) version for several years.
I'm happy with my purchase. That being said it is not my primary contesting
antenna and it stayed at home during the last contest as I didn't think it had
enough gain to be useful at the sites I planned on visiting (plus mine didn't
cover 50 MHz.)
I'm happy with the built quality of mine and it seems to have held up well to
traveling in the bed of my 4x4 on forest roads. In my experience it is a
handy multi band antenna with some gain and directivity and I've made lots of
contest contacts with mine.
I'd also be curious in hearing from those who have used the version that covers
50 Mhz. I've pondered putting one up at my home qth to get a horizontal
antenna with a certain amount of gain on 50 MHz and up.
