Hello,
I checked into these about a year or so ago. My location seemed to require a
vertical antenna. The owner seemed to be a stange sort when I talked to him on
the phone. Getting answers was like pulling teeth. He seemed offfended by my
asking so many questions, yet he felt extremely confident about his antenna.
I talked to a person in ARRL's technical section about the antenna. He said
the
antenna is based on an older but sound design principle and should work fine.
I was deciding between it, a GAP, or Butternut verticle. I ended up with an
MFJ
because a local here had one available for a rediculous price (works OK). I may
still get one in the future.
Hope this helps,

I am talking about their vertical antennas, now called the T-25 and T-50
(Formerly TCS-25 and 50).
See http://www.sommerantennas.com/
Anyway, you illustrate my point about their lack of marketing very well,
it's almost as if they don't really want to sell their products!
