I have used the Cushcraft MA-160V extensively over the years and it works
amazing well. It only stands at 36 feet tall for the CW DX window. It is top
loaded. It is very light. I don't understand why more DXpeditions don't use
them. I would not trust the all the parts being included, but once it is
complete, it plays very well. Always good to use in unison with a RX antenna;
beverage, flag, K9AY, etc.....-
