I have a TA-33 at 60 feet. The antenna performs well, but.....
Lets just say (so I don't tick off a lot of people) that the TA-33 is very
durable...well built....matches well across all the bands....its easy to
put up and down...will get through the pileups in time (and some power,
although that just shortens the time)...has with stood Kansas windstorms
... etc.
There have been times I felt I was loading a 50 ohm resister at 60 feet.
You cannot tell much about front-to-back on the radio.
I've seen these antennas up in the air for years....
Just some random thoughts

put it up.
